When you want to use inFlow in multi-user mode, you will need to chose one computer as your server. The server will host the inFlow data, whilst other computers (called clients) will connect to the server. The server computer should typically be:

       - Powered on most of the time, allowing clients to connect

       - One of the fastest computers you have available

To set up inFlow in multi-user mode, you need to do the following on the server computer:

1. Install inFlow on the server computer.
2. From the inFlow menu, choose Multi-User Mode under Settings.
3. Select ‘Set up this computer as server’
4. Click the button to begin setting it up as a server.
5. Once it is finished, make note of the server name and password shown at the end. Once in multi-user mode, you can get this information again by selecting Change Connection from the File menu.

Then to set up the other computers with inFlow

1. Install inFlow on the client computer.
2. From the inFlow menu, choose Multi-User Mode under Settings.
3. Select ‘I have another computer already set up as server’
4. Enter in the server name and password you made a note of above, and click Connect.

The multi-user mode of inFlow is designed primarily within a local area network (LAN) environment. Click here to see information on connecting inFlow over the Internet.
