In our case, we would use Tabbles with a personal purpose only. Some files are linked to work, but still private, such as pay slips. Those files would be managed by Tabbles (part of our private admin docs).

So just to be sure: if I want to share tabbles with one family member on the same PC (set up as 2 different windows users), I will need to purchase 2 Tabbles Home licenses.

Then, install Tabbles on the PC and register both Home licenses on the Tabbles installation.

This setup will allow to share tabbles bidirectionally between both users (defined and shared by either users).

Should both family members login from different PCs on the same LAN, files and tabbles can still be shared.

Yes, all this is correct. 🙂

Hi, The EULA probably needs to be rewritten for Tabbles 3. This is one reason why we are still in beta.

I hope this will clarify:

one Tabbles Home license can be used by only one person. But that person can use Tabbles on 3 different machines. (provided he uses the same Windows user name on all machines — otherwise Tabbles assumes they are different persons).

With 4 licenses of Tabbles home, 4 persons can collaborate with each other; and each person can use up to 3 different machines. This means a maximum of 12 machines can collaborate together.

For non-commercial purposes.

Can the “Tabbles Home” license be used by up to 4 windows users on the same PC?

No, only one person per license. Even on the same machine, to have 4 windows users you need 4 licenses.

“how are users defined? Windows users? SQL server users? Other?”

This can be confusing. There is only one Sql server user (called tabblesClient). So we can rule this out. So we only must distinguish between Tabbles users and Windows users. A Tabbles user cannot use more than one Windows username; but he can use up to 3 different machines. 🙂

interesting, but I wonder if it is practical. could you explain it in terms of “click here, then click here”?

I assume you would do

right-click on a file -> click “copy tags to clipboard”

then you’d have to locate the untagged file, right-click it, and click “copy tags from clipboard”?. I wonder if it is practical to locate an untagged file.

What about changing approach? select the untagged file -> “copy tags from…”. But then you’d have to locate the source file. This is already tagged, so it is easier. But not easy…

Hi, write at bugs@tabbles.net and I’ll send you the xml files to translate. You’ll get a free license 🙂

Please note that, to tag files on network drives, you have to mount your networks drives, so that they have a drive letter assigned.
