Does SimpleSYN have to be installed on all PCs?

Question 42:
I am using the Business Version 2.1 and synchronize over the Internet. Is it possible to synchronize a further SimpleSYN client only on the local network and can I use the standard version?
Answer:
The SimpleSYN Version 2.1 is fully compatible with the Business Version. You can only synchronize over a local network with the standard version, however.
If your SimpleSYN server is configured for Internet synchronization, proceed as follows to establish a connection with a SimpleSYN client without synchronizing over the Internet.
- Open the SimpleSYN user interface of the SimpleSYN client computer
- In the “Options” menu click on “Advanced Options”
- Activate the check box “Use PNRP“ and “Use secure Peer Name“
- Click on “Save”
- Under “Server Name” select the SimpleSYN server and enter the server password
- Click on “Save”
Please note: The SimpleSYN server has to be in the same local network as the client.
Further note: The Configuration Wizard in the standard version cannot establish a connection with the SimpleSYN server if the SimpleSYN server is configured for synchronization via the Internet.
