Dan, it's not legal or anything. It's just a computer requirement. I guess if they want to use 1 AC database and merge all their patients it would work - that would be like having 1 practice with 2 providers. But 1 server can host only 1 AC database, and each workstation can open that one database (unless you go the virtual OS route). Sorry if I'm not explaining very well. Some of the more computer savvy users can probably explain it better.
