The Startup Edition has been designed for smaller clinics or those who are just starting out. There is a limit of 300 patient records and 2 practitioners and it’s also not networkable. Once you reach the patient or practitioner limits, you can easily upgrade to the Professional Edition by simply paying the difference, hence this edition is often an ideal starting point for new ClinicOffice customers.

The Professional Edition has no patient or practitioner limitations and is fully networkable so that your database can be accessed from multiple computers. This edition is recommended for up to 5 network users. For more users or if you have a very large database, we would recommend the Server Edition. Of course, you can always upgrade later on by simply paying the difference.

Functionally, the Server Edition is identical to the Professional Edition. The key difference is that it uses a Client/Server database engine which means it runs very quickly across a network and can easily handle millions of records and dozens of concurrent users. We recommend the Server Edition if you have more than 5 users accessing your database at the same time, or if you have a very large database.

That really depends upon your requirements. The following summary may help…

For the Startup and Professional Editions, licenses are on a “per computer” basis. If you have 3 PCs which require ClinicOffice, you need to purchase 3 licenses (1 initial + 2 additional licenses).

For the Server Edition, licenses are on a “per concurrent user” basis. You can install it on as many computers as you wish. The question is: how many people will be using the system simultaneously?

If you have 10 PCs and 20 staff members but only 6 people will use ClinicOffice at the same time, then you only need to purchase 6 licenses (1 initial + 5 additional licenses).

Of course, you can easily buy additional licenses later on and they can be activated for you instantly.

For LARGER purchases, we’re very pleased to offer our 0% Interest Free payment plan. Please click here for more details.

Technically, the “additional licenses” are actually “network” licenses, so if you’re going to have a separate database at each site, then yes you will need to purchase an initial license for each site. However, we are more than happy to offer discounts for larger purchases, so please contact our sales team and we’ll be happy to help!
