InterAgri programs use a range of methods to ensure data and program security:
Program security:
Dongle: The dongle (security key supplied when you purchase a program) controls the saving of data and, in some cases, the features available. The dongle is programmed with a unique number and details of the level of access to any program. These details can be updated/edited (ask your distributor). Always quote the dongle number which is displayed in About InterBeef. A dongle can be used on a single computer or on a network.
User names: Users are given a username when issued with the program (eg InterAgri). This is required to log on when starting the program. User names have different "permissions" which control what the user is able to do. Users with "administrative" permission can view/change permissions and user names
Password: Each user name has a password. This can be altered using Change password.
Data security:
It is the user's responsibility to ensure that all data are regularly backed-up (copied). The InterAgri products all back-up in compressed format in a matter of seconds and these should be stored well away from the computer, usually on diskettes. This will give you peace of mind and ensure that data can be restored in the event of data entry error, computer failure, computer theft, fire, accidental deletion, over enthusiastic children, computer virus attack etc. etc.
