CollegeCentral Requirements
If you require more than 2 CollegeCentral users on the network then the FileMaker Server application ideally should be installed on a server to host the CollegeCentral system. It is optional but it is recommended. FileMaker Server increases network speed and improves data protection, as well as a number of other advantages like scheduling backups during the day.
