Thanks!
There is one thing I'm confused about.
Let's say you have five help authors. And, all five
need to create an HLP from their project. How is that
managed?
Can all 5 access the same installation of RoboHelp at
once? Or, do you have to install 5 separate copies of
RoboHelp on your server farm (since I assume you can't
put more than one copy on any one partition)?
And, if several people are accessing the same instance
of RoboHelp (or whatever app), how is licensing of
RoboHelp (yadda) handled?
