All the above four model works in File Server mode (MS Access based). introduced two more models to provide Client Server database capabilities a) SC (Standard Client-Server) b) PC (Professional Client-Server)
SC would provide the features of Standard Edition in Client Server mode and PC would be providing features of Professional Edition with Client Server mode. Client Server would always be Multi-User but unlike SM & PM, where a single dongle is sufficient for all the computers in a LAN, all the Client computers in Client-Server mode would require independent dongle of either SC or PC model. Maintaining our old tradition, we still have the single BUSY application, which would switch to relevant database mode depending upon the dongle installed on the computer. If no dongle were installed on the computer then the default mode would be File Server mode (MS Access).

1. Operating System requirement
For Server: Any Server operating system such as Windows Server 2000, Server 2003, XP Server and so on which can run MSSQL Server 2000. For Clients: Windows 98 or any higher version.
2. Software requirement
For Server: MSSQL Server 2000 Database Server For Clients: BUSY Application, ODBC Connectivity Drivers and SQL Server 2000 Client Tools (Although Client Tools are not required for the running of BUSY, these may be required for troubleshooting)
After going through the requirements for running Client-Server model, let us now have a look at the steps to configure Client-Server model.

In the Server Information window, there are various data fields. The data fields are: Database Specify the database name in this data field (Fixed as MSSQL for the time being). Sever Name Specify the Server name in this data field as specified at the time of registering a new Server. User ID Specify a valid MSSQL server User ID in this data field. Default MSSQL Server user name is Sa. Password Specify password that you have specified for the user name Sa at the time of registering for a new Server.
This is the only configuration required to run BUSY in Client Server mode. Once this configuration is done, BUSY will work as it is as it works in File server mode (MS Access).
