2.7. Admin is already logged in from another machine.

Q:  I'm trying to connect EstiMate to the Multi-User Server, but every time I click the "Connect To Selected Server" button it says "Admin is already logged in from another machine".  I am licensed for more then one station, and I already have it running on another computer.  How can I get EstiMate to connect to the Multi-User Server from the other computers?

A:  The issue is that "Admin" is currently the only user in the database.  In order to log in from the other machines you must first create some additional users for the system.

To create additional users:

• Close EstiMate on all but one machine.

• Make sure that copy of EstiMate is in Multi-User Mode (it will show this in the title bar at the top of your EstiMate program).

• Click the "Configure And Manage" tab, and then the "Set Up Users" button.

• When the list comes up double click on the "Admin" account.

• Set a password for the "Admin", confirm that password, and then click "OK".

• From the Users List click the "Users" button at the bottom left, and select "New".

• A "New Entry" window will come up.  Type in a Username (Usernames, and passwords are case sensitive).

• Type in a password, and then confirm that password.

• Choose the "Permission Level" for that new user.  There are three choices (General User, Manager, and Admin).  Selecting each one will show you what that user would be restricted from doing at that level.  Admin has no restrictions.
  

• Click the "OK" button.

You can create as many users as you will need for the system.  Each user can only be logged in from one computer at a time though including the Admin.
