Is it possible to share a program between computers

I have two laptops at home, both running Windows XP, and the two connected to the internet via a wireless router.

I have a program on computer #1 that cannot be loaded on a single computer.

Is there a way to network two laptops so that I could be using portable #2 and access the program on the computer #1?

I tried to read on the network, but do not seem to be able to find the answer to this specific problem.

You must be clear on what you're trying to do.

Links on Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) provided by Steve Cochran could solve your problem.  An important piece of information is in the introduction to KB 315328:

This feature allows remotely of your Windows XP Professional computer from another computer running Windows XP Professional or an earlier version of Windows.

In other words, if the computer #1, that has the program that you want to use is installed, is using Windows XP Professional, you will then be able to control the computer #1 computer #2 once you install DRC and operate.

It is probably only half of the battle, because I expect that under normal circumstances, when you run your program on the #1 computer (whether you are sitting at the computer #1 or access it remotely via the DRC), you will probably work on files that that are on the computer #1.

Reading between the lines, it seems as if you want to avoid buying a second license for "program" so that you can run it on the computer #1 with the computer files of the #1 and also run it on the computer with the computer files of #2 #2.

If you set in the DRC, you also need to configure all the necessary files and folders on the computer #2 to be accessible from the computer #1.  Any "customization" that supports the "program" is likely to be stored in the registry of the computer of the #1 and will not change even if you are able to access the computer data of #2 files.

You should probably bite the bullet and buy a second copy of the "program".

  • Is it possible to share the regions between pages?

    I am currently using 3.0.0.00.20 (I know that's not very new). I was wondering if it is possible to share regions (with the included items, buttons, etc.) or any more recent version of the APEX? I have a few very similar pages that are similar in different ways according to the pages you are comparing. So a region might be on page 1, 3 and 5; while another could be 1, 2, and 3; and yet another on 3, 4, 5. I prefer not to write and then copy one page to another or write a monolithic page that shows the areas under certain conditions. Any ideas, tips?

    Look at page zero - I think that it is in this version. Allows you to define regions... etc. that appear on each page. You can then put a condition on what it should only appear on certain pages. Just search the forum or the documentation that it - it should be in every sense.

  • Share firefox profile between multiple operating systems.

    I recently installed windows on a virtual hard disk 8 (my primary OS is Windows 7) and I was wondering if it was possible to share the same profile of firefox on the two operating systems. I have ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/utilities/profilemanager/Profile Manager, but when I tried to make a new profile to the place of my main profile, he instead made a subdirectory under my main profile. Is that what I can do to share the profile between the two? I could always use sync, but I would like to share my addons, if possible.

  • How to share a program in windows 8.1?

    I recently downloaded the world of tanks MMO game, but only I, the admin could use it.  Other users (wife, two children) can not open the file.  They get notice that, indeed, that the file cannot be opened, and that they have the appropriate permissions to open it.  I tried to 'share' the program using the right click, properties, security, change the permissions, but only my user name is present.  Please note that each of them has downloaded apps from the store of windows without any problem, but this download of apart from the msn network can only be used by the administrator.  How can I change this?  Pleeeeeease help.

    Apps from the App store can not be shared between accounts.

    But in general, you install other sources (sites, CD) programs can be. If this is the case, I recommend that you install the game to new woud, but put it in a shared location (such as creating a new folder on your C:\ drive called "Tanks" and install it there when you run the Setup program).  Then everyone should be able to use it.

  • How to share a LR catalog between computers?

    Hello!

    I installed on an iMac and a MBP from LR.  Is it possible to download my pictures and catalog (including amendments) on a cloud to access it from two computers?

    Thank you!!

    No, this is not possible. Lightroom requires the catalog to exist on a hard drive (internal or external) that is directly connected to the computer running Lightroom. The best way to share images between computers would be to have the catalog and images on an external hard drive, they can be moved between computers.

  • Share USB - device between 2 VMWares

    Hello

    I use VMWare 4.0 player.

    Is it possible to share a USB - device between 2 or more VM-goods at the same time.

    Because it is usual that I connect to the USB - device to one of those VM-goods it is not possible to connect to another. I have to disconnect and connect it to the host, after that it is possible to connect it to the second virtual machine.

    In settings, I can not find such a context, perhaps it is some special entry for these terms.

    THX

    No, it isn't.  USB devices can only be owned by an operating system at a time.  To the host or a guest, allow to use the device.

  • Using Sansung S3, not yet possible to share all the tabs opened (using NFC) with another phone NFC. But only the a main tab, I'm currently browsing is possible.

    Sansung S3 using, Android 4.1.2 Firefox 24.0; not yet possible to share all the tabs opened (using NFC) with another phone NFC. But only the a main tab, I'm currently browsing is possible to share. It is the function of current NFC function of Firefox?
    If so, when will it feature to share all the tabs?
    Thank you.

    I don't know if we implement this. Sharing of all the tabs you have open have many security and privacy issues. Someone forget that they had a tab open, they didn't want to share or miss-clicks on the sharing of all the option.

    We are looking for ways to better share tabs with devices that are located nearby. Especially if they are on the same WiFi network.
