Documentation

Service information
Each purchase activates one remote database, accessible from multiple workstations subject to the software licence limits. You may buy additional databases. Activation normally takes 12–24 hours. Expiry suspends access but does not delete stored data. Migrating an existing local database may incur a conversion fee; contact us first. Each workstation still requires an installed and activated application.
Configuration
Install and activate the application. If no database has been configured, the application detects the remote database and offers to use it. If a local database is already configured, open Configuration → Database configuration wizard and follow the prompts. Check the application title bar: remote connections display “CLOUD”, the database name and server IP; local databases show a .mdb file path.
Dedicated servers
The standard service uses a shared Aruba Cloud VPS. Dedicated VPS options: SMALL €90/year (1 CPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB disk); MEDIUM €180/year (1 CPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB disk); BIG €350/year (2 CPUs, 4 GB RAM, 80 GB disk). A dedicated server can host multiple databases.
Frequently asked questions
How do I renew? Repeat the annual purchase. Are my data lost on expiry? No, access is suspended until renewal. Can I use my own MySQL server? Yes, without purchasing the hosted database service. Is Internet required? Yes. What is the database size limit? 1 GB on the standard service. Can I use other databases? Yes, through the configuration wizard. Does each computer need a licence? Yes. Can I return to a local database? Yes, but new cloud data will not be transferred automatically; use an earlier backup or arrange a migration.
Migrating an existing database
To move from a local .mdb database, use a fully licensed, updated application; purchase the cloud database; send your existing database file to PowerWolf and wait for confirmation. Migration normally takes up to two working days after receipt. Do not enter or change data while conversion is in progress.
What changes after migration?
Your data are hosted on a remote MySQL server rather than in a local Access .mdb file. Internet access is necessary. All configured workstations can share the same database, within the application licence limits.
Browser access
After activation and configuration, some application functions may be available through a web browser at the link below.
