Somehow we bought the version for multiple users, and the SQL server can be installed on a separate “server.” And that’s apparently what the Natsoft folk envisioned.
I’ll just install it and see how it does. Originally I was hoping to run NL on a virtual Win 7 installation Virtualbox, but the Natsoft folks said that would not work. I use Virtualbox on two Macs to access Windows-only transmitter and peripheral software just fine. Perhaps Natsoft is just covering their behinds, don’t want to do customer support for strange configurations.
