Payback can be set up so that more than one person can use it at once, reading off the same database.

- Backup your existing copy of Payback.
- Install Payback on all the machines you wish to run it from, including wherever you are going to hold the data.
- Copy your data file to the server machine (paydata2012_04.log)

1. Open Payback on one of the machines and select 'Support' at the top left of the screen.
2. Click the 'Support' icon
3. Select the 'Diagnostics' tab
4. Click the 'Database location' button. A file dialogue box will appear.
5. Select the data file on your server (eg: Q:\Data\Payback\paydata2012_04.log)
6. Restart Payback.
7. Ensure that you are reading the correct datafile by making a test payment (you can rewind this afterwards)
8. Enter your registration details on each machine that is running Payback. These can be copied from the Admin>Registration Screen of the first machine.

Repeat steps 1-8 for all the machines you wish to run Payback from.

Note that you can also set up users in Payback. The Audit log records all actions by each user.

IMPORTANT:
If you are running a networked version of Payback, you should ensure that all machines are running the same version of Payback. If you update to a newer version of Payback, run the same update on all the machines so they are all running the same version.
(Failing to do this may cause different machines to see a different copy of the data, which causes confusion!)
