Time Cards and User Licenses

Currently our designers,illustrators & programmers do not use C&P, so I have not purchased licenses for the production team. (We are 25 person agency.) But I would like them to do timecards online. Has anybody used just one license for that purpose? Knowing they cannot access timecards simultaneously. What are the pros & cons? Any other suggestions. It would be too expensive to purchase a license for everybody just for timecards.

Thanks,

Have you looked at My Clients & Profits yet? My Clients & Profits! is a web server for your Clients & Profits database that allows anyone to manage jobs, track time and expenses, and more from Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, or any web browser.

One computer would be designated your My Clients & Profits! server (using one license). That anyone could perform various production tasks from.

Here's the link for the My Clients & Profits! website.

You may want to consider the use of My C&P! which is a web server add-on to Clients and Profits that will allow as many people as you want to access the database to add time. This would be a very cost effective solution to your problem and you can get more information about it on our web site: www.clientsandprofits.com/my Also, you can contact us here at the sales department for additional information or to answer any questions you may have: 1-800-272-4488

We have three Mac users, all designers, who share one C&P license. They use C&P primarily for Timecards. We also have 12 PC users who share 6 C&P licenses. This has worked for us so far by stressing the common courtesy of logging off when not using C&P.

We had the same problems with our design group, and solved it in two ways.

First, we tried getting our bookkeeper to input the timecards on a weekly basis for the design team. That worked quite well.

Then, we gave all the designers their own ID, and asked them to input their cards on a weekly basis. We found that there was relatively little conflict and they were all able to access the database when they wanted to.

We are a 12 person office and currently have a 4 user program. We would eventually like to have everyone enter their own time cards. We are wondering if the 4 user will be enough or if we need to ad more. I know it's not necessary to have a license for each user, but what is an average of user package we should have.
