When installing AccountRight, you'll need either the PC Edition or the Server Edition.
Most people just need the PC Edition—it’s the simplest installation, requires little configuration and is easy to maintain. The Server Edition is only for network servers which host AccountRight company files which need to be accessed by other computers on the network.
The AccountRight PC Edition will only be installed for the user who is currently logged into Windows. If other users log in to this computer using their own Windows account name, they’ll need to install AccountRight as well.
