Installing Auction Tracker on a single computer

Remember all your organization's Auction Tracker data must be on one single computer at any given time. While it is easy to move Auction Tracker's data from one computer to another, Auction Tracker data saved onto two separate computers cannot be easily combined. Some users like to install Auction Tracker on their own computers to create a practice event, and that is acceptable. But the latest updated copy of the official data of the organization's fundraisers, must be on one computer at a time.
