Bruce - R:Base does not need to be "running" on the server O/S.
It was some time ago, but I think I ran the install on the server O/S as
a "server" install, so the catch is that upgrades have to be run on the
server O/S, they won't run on a workstation.
To set up R:Base on a workstation, navigate to
[MappedDrive]\RBTI\RBGX5E\RBGX5E.EXE and "Send To" Desktop to create the
shortcut; adjust properties accordingly. I found it's much easier and
saves future headaches to accept the R:Base default install paths.
Conversely, R:Base can run on the server if an extra client seat is
needed. I'm thinking of doing that for a client. They have a
workstation that I access via Remote Desktop but find that there are
often conflicts with others in the office who need to use that computer
- obviously they have priority. The server would be an ideal seat for
me - no conflict with other users and it is probably faster than greased
lightening because the data is "right there" - no network issues to
contend with.
Has anyone done this? Any considerations (server security, I know)?
Any gotchas?
Thanks,
Doug

Question:
Without taking into account the number of users, does a server install
of RBGX5E require installation on a server operating system
/e.g./ Microsoft Windows Server 2019, or will it run usefully on a
Windows 10 workstation?
I'm thinking here of my small-shop environment, where I'd have at most
two workstation installs testing multi-user configuration.
Wondering if R:BASE concurrency features require server-OS assist.
Thanks very much, yours:
