All licensing options require occassional Internet access. |
Server Recommendations | |
Purpose | A server is not required to operate MusicMaster Pro, but if you plan to have multiple users working in the same stations, it is recommended to store your MusicMaster databases on a shared server computer. MusicMaster Pro supports databases in Microsoft Access or SQL Server. |
Access Database | When sharing Access databases, we recommend that you place them on a shared file server that will operate 24/7 rather than on an individual user workstation. This makes it more likely the data will be available for all needed users as any maintenance or downtime can be managed more easily than coordinating that on individual workstations. We recommend a Microsoft Windows Server operating system, 2016 or later and sufficient hardware that meets the client requirements listed above, and also satisfies the requirements of the chosen operating system. We'd also recommend a fast wired network connection (1GB or faster) along with fast disk access speed (10K drives or SSD). |
SQL Server | If you plan to store your data in SQL Server, a dedicated server that satisfies Microsoft's recommended hardware and software requirements for SQL Server is recommended. We recommend the use of SQL Server version 2016 or later. |
Nexus Server | If you will be using the MusicMaster Nexus Server, we strongly recommend having your databases and the Nexus Server software on the same server computer. The minimum requirements here would be the same as for the MusicMaster Pro client software as indicated above. However, for a MusicMaster Nexus and database server, we would also strongly recommend that this machine have a fast network connection and fast storage, SSD if possible. |
