Database locked

EasyBilling is designed as a standalone software that implements a database lock mechanism to safeguard the integrity of the data. When EasyBilling is running, it locks the database to prevent concurrent access.

If a second instance of EasyBilling attempts to run on the same database (Workspace) simultaneously, a dialog will appear notifying you about the situation. In this dialog, you has the option to run EasyBilling in READ-ONLY mode.

When running in READ-ONLY mode, you can only view the information stored in the database. They are unable to create or edit documents, modify customer or item information, or adjust software settings. However, they can still view, print, and preview documents. Additionally, you can create Draft documents which can be processed as normal documents once the database is connected in its regular mode.

* In v9.7.0 or later, Read-Only mode is enhanced. When running in READ-ONLY mode, you can create, edit, preview and print documents and report as usual. However, you cannot create or modify customer, supplier or item information, or adjust software settings.
