I currently use a 1 user version, I log on as manager. I will be getting an assistant to take care of suppliers etc. can I set them up as user 1 and I continue to log on as manager.
We will use the same machine, she works when I am not there?
Regards
Stephen

If you enable access rights in preferences, you can create as many user logins as you want.
All copies of Sage 50 (and instant) can be installed on as many workstation as you want, even if they are single user copies.
Licensing only restricts the number of users who can log in at one time.

Thank you for your reply.
If down the line I set her up with a pc, install sage, how do we share the same data file?

You follow the standard multi company installation.
You might not have set up a file share for the sage data when you created your original installation, this is not hard to do retrospectively, you just go to the data path go up a directory and share the folder.
When you install on the next workstation the first thing is asks is if you want to ... set up a new blank company, create a company by restoring a backup, connect to data on sage drive or connect to an existing company on your network.
The exact wording and order may vary, I am working from memory here.
You want to choose "connect to existing data on your network", you then browse to the PC hosting the data and choose the file share to connect it.
That is it.
