Installation process with File mode database #

You can install the database in File mode in your personal computer or into network folder with shared access by several users. Users running the AccountingSuite on their own computers have access to this file over the local network. All transactions and requests from the application are performed directly on their PCs. 

This is a very simple way to install a database for one or several users (up to 5). Does not require additional server software.

File mode is an installation option when the on-premise application is installed on one laptop or PC as one file of database. One user can install several databases for different companies on his laptop or PC.

You need to download installers for AccountingSuite application and 1C:Enterprise platform then receive your License key for the number of users you want.

Only the Client/server or On-cloud mode enables you to use the Mobile Application. Select them if you intend to carry out your accounting via Tablets or Smartphones.

Quick manual:

1. Download, unpack and install the platform for your OS
2. Download, unpack and install the AccountingSuite application
3. Add the application to the database list
4. Apply your licence key the first time you run 1C:Enterprise Platform

Client/server mode #

Client/server mode is an installation option where AccountingSuite, launched on a user’s PC, works with the 1C:Enterprise Server. The server software is installed on the local network server computer, it works with the AccountingSuite database.

This method of installation is used when mass work of many (more than 5) users is needed, and requires additional configuration and server software and hardware.

The DBMS (Database Management System) is used as a database management tool — PostgreSQL or MS SQL. In contrast to File mode, the client/server database consists of many different files. In this mode, resource-intensive operations are performed by the server in one location of database files, not on users’ PCs. You only need one powerful computer for the server role. Users’ PCs are only used for the visualization of the application and database. 

The Client/server mode allows you to use Mobile Application. To use the AccountingSuite Mobile Application, it is necessary to make your AccountingSuite database accessible through Web services technology from the company network to the Internet.

You require a single 1C:Enterprise Server license and multiple 1C:Enterprise platform licenses for each user.

You can start with a File mode database without a Server and scale AccountingSuite as your business grows.
