Edition

Description

Repair edition

The Repair edition is considered the standard edition and includes all program features for repair shops. It uses a Microsoft Access database to store data and is suitable for licenses of up to approximately 10 users. Multi-user licenses can be configured for multiple business locations that share a single database.

Repair SQL edition

The Repair SQL edition includes all program features for repair shops. It uses a MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server database to store data and is suitable for licenses of any number of users. Data can also be transferred to and from a Microsoft Access database. Multi-user licenses can be configured for multiple business locations that share a single database.

Repair Mobile edition

The Repair Mobile edition works in conjunction with the Repair edition and allows a mobile repair technician to work on a notebook computer that does not have a live connection to the main database, and then later synchronize with the main Repair edition database. It includes most program features, but many configuration features are in read-only mode since they would be configured from the main Repair edition database. It uses a Microsoft Access database to store data and is for a single user working on the notebook computer.

Repair Lite edition

The Repair Lite edition is for repair shops that do not need all of the features available in the Repair edition. Major features such as inventory, purchase orders, service codes, warranty cards, or custom fields and captions are not available.

It uses a Microsoft Access database to store data and is suitable for licenses of up to approximately 10 users. Multi-user licenses can be configured for multiple business locations that share a single database.
