Yes you can, you can network either from the start or later on whichever way, its ready when you are and networking at a later stage does not interfere with any data already entered. The ability to network is built into TRUCKBase Pro from the start. If you are going to network TRUCKBase Pro you will need additional user licence's . See the networking page. TRUCKBase Pro Pro Auto Workshop Manager is also able to be networked as a multi branch application, so if you have branches over the UK or further afield then TRUCKBase Pro Pro will connect all these together - but please call before to ensure that you have the correct PC specification as the multi branch requirments are different from the normal LAN networked system.
If you are purchasing through one of our Partners then they will in most cases be able to supply a PC and provide addtional services such as Networking (LAN) etc.
NO YOU DO NOT. TRUCKBase Pro is a totally standalone system that does not require any connection to the Internet. If you want to use the Text (SMS)system and email reminders then you will need an internet connection.The muliti branch version does require an internet connection.

Some businesses spend more money than they maybe need to when buying a computer. TRUCKBase Pro will run on any entry level PC, you will not see much difference in performance when using TRUCKBase Pro between an entry level PC and a top of the range PC. Please note that if you intend to use your PC for other applications such as CAD design or graphics then this might require you to use a PC with a higher specification. The reliability of your PC is more important than speed.
A Forever licence means you can use TRUCKBase Pro Pro forever. There are no time restraints or contracts and there are no further fees to pay (there is one exception which is outlined here).

No, the DVSA Safety Inspection Manager is not included. It can be purchased as a standalone product.
A file server is a PC that only holds data files but nobody actually sits at this PC and uses it. File servers are typically stored in a cabinet etc and hold data centrally. PC workstations then connect to the file server and draw the data from them. If TRUCKBase Pro data is held on a file server then its the data file on the file server that must be backed up not on the workstations connecting to file server. Used in this example (above) you do not need a licence for the file server.
