Does does the licence works for DoSQL when using on the server? only one licence is require or each client needs to have it?

    Hi,

    You can use DoSQL on the server, for use in server side scripts. Just remember that server side scripts have some serious limitations. Some of them are obvious and well documented. Just change the popup in your script to see which instructions are server side compatible.
    Others are not. For example: you cannot access occurences of tables that are not in the file your script is running in. Even when the other file is running on the same server. That rule goes for script steps like "Set Field" but also for any DoSQL instruction.

    The license for the plug-in installed on the server just counts as one license. Use the DoSQL "Configure" function with the "save" option in a server side script to save your license info on the server.
    When using DoSQL on a client machine, you need a license on that machine as well.

    Avoid using DoSQL in stored calculation fields, only use it on auto-enter calculations, unstored calculations and of course in scripts. All these calculations require a client engine, so it's not enough to install the plug-in on the server only. Server side scripts are in fact using a mini-client engine on the server to execute.
