• Basic architectural/registration details of the software:
Winman’s software is desktop application. As backend database, software uses Microsoft Access or Microsoft SQL server.
The software uses file system for data storage. All the data entered in the software will be saved in individual files like ‘.tax’ / ‘.wgst’, etc. which are similar to MS Word & Excel files.
The software has two types of licenses, i.e., Desktop license and Server license.
Desktop license:
· The software will be installed in each PC, depending on the no. of license.
· Users can configure the software to save all the data in a common data-path folder or can have an individual/separate data-path.
· Users can also access the software over LAN by sharing the installed folder. However, simultaneously only one user can use the software in this type of license.
Server license:
· Only single instance of the software will be installed in the server or any existing PC.
· The software can be accessed by clients over LAN using network share or via Terminal Services (like Remote Desktop, Thin Client, etc.). Any client PC which is connected to same LAN where the server resides can access the software through network share without installing the software locally on client PC.
· In Server license, a common data-path folder is set for all users. Data saved by all users will be stored in this common data-path folder. Users cannot use different data path in this type of license.
· Here, software can be accessed by many users simultaneously, depending on license count.
· To use the software over LAN using network share, folder in which the software is installed should be shared over network with full permission to all users or specific windows user group. Once shared, those users can open the software directly using the link or shortcut provided.
· Here, access to the software and data is controlled using the windows folder sharing and folder security.
