MORE INFORMATION

Single-user FoxPro is not recommended for network installation. Although single-user FoxPro can efficiently access files located on a network (in EXCLUSIVE mode), it is not designed to be installed on a network server. If you install single-user FoxPro on a network server, you may experience severe performance degradation, especially with workstations that have the minimal amount memory.

FoxPro/LAN is specifically designed to operate efficiently in a network environment. For several users to share a single copy of FoxPro, FoxPro/LAN is required. Shared use of single-user FoxPro is specifically prohibited by the FoxPro license agreement.
