Cardbox Talk

How Do i know how many users i can have using cardbox?
and how then would i be able to get more users?

If you serve your databases by Cardbox Server to the Cardbox Client you can use your database by as many users you want.
I do not know a limit. But I think the speed of the infrastructure (network/server) will limit it I suppose.
It is also depending the things users are doing: only searching takes less performance than batchedit/bachtdelete or dataexport/import.

it only allows me to have three users on as well as the server, can't seem to find out why or how to change either!

Erase all license information: folder licence, licences.ini, license.ini.
This only if you work with the licence-free builds of course.

i take it that if i dont have a licence free build it would be a case of uninstalling it all and then reinstalling a fresh?

How can you see that you are limited to 3?

on the cardbox server tray icon on licences tab it says it has my serial number for the server and say x3 then when you select that and try to change it it has three users in he box which you cant alter

plus when we try to log on with another laptop other then the server and two others it comes up with the error message saying that there are too many users logged on or something along those lines

Be sure you downloaded last builds from the Cardbox site.
Before running setup of both (Client and server), do as I wrote 1-Feb-2016 16:20.

ok thanks for your help yet again life saver!

you can find additional info using the IP-address of your Cardbox server in a browser
for instance type in your browser IP:port/status.htm, in my case 192.168.1.10:3105/status.htm
version 3.1 will not longer display the licence info but may be you'll find it useful
