For more productive work of users from 5 people and the volume of the database from 1 GB, it is recommended to use the client-server operating mode, that is, using SQL Server. For this, in addition to SQl Server, you need to purchase a 1C server license.
Using the server "1C: Enterprises" allows you to focus on it performing the most extensive data processing operations, while freeing the power of users' computers, which increases the productivity of their work.
The client application on the user's computer interacts with the server cluster "1C: Enterprise 8", and the cluster, if necessary, accesses the database server (MS SQL Server or PostgreSQL).
If necessary, the administrator can distribute the load between the servers, and it is not necessary that the cluster of servers 1C and the database server are physically located on the same computer.
Features of using the license for the server:
The license is intended for users of "1C: Enterprise 8", which for automation requires the use of the system in client-server mode and who plan or have already completed the transition to version 8.2;
The server license can not be used for the base versions of 1C;
Use server license is possible only within the same local network;
The protection key supports the operation of the 32-bit server version 8.2, as well as 8.1 and 8.0;
The server license does not increase the number of system jobs, the total number of jobs is determined by the amount of client licenses.
