What is needed to run Sage BusinessWorks remotely?
Description

Resolution

To run Sage BusinessWorks remotely using Remote Desktop you need to have the following items:

  1. A server with a Windows Server operating system installed (Server 2016, 2019 or 2022 or Citrix).
  2. A remote user license for the Windows Server operating system. This may need to be purchased if it is not already included in the operating system. This license allows the users can access the server remotely.
  3. Remote Desktop Services, formerly known as Terminal Services, needs to be set up on the server. Remote Desktop Services is a server role that provides the ability for users to access applications remotely from both within a network and from the Internet (this would need to be configured by a network technician.)
  4. The Client Server version of Sage BusinessWorks needs to be purchased and installed on the server.  CAUTION: Use of the workgroup edition in this environment has not been tested and is not supported. 

Another remote option is to allow a user to remote into their in-office PC using a tool such as GoToMyPC. Please note that this is not supported for multiple users logging into the same computer at one time for access, this is only for one user logging into their office PC for access.
