ShipWorks allows you to add multiple computers running the ShipWorks software to a centralized ShipWorks database, giving you the ability to run ShipWorks on multiple PCs with each PC connected to the same data source.
This article will guide you through the first requirement for connecting additional computers to the ShipWorks database which is to enable remote connection on the main ShipWorks PC.
