Deploy a Shared Library

Deploying Spatial Library Server as a shared library assumes you want to run Map Publisher Desktop on one or more machines and the Spatial Library Server on a single machine. This is a good strategy if you have many users that need access to the same data. Users can still maintain personal libraries by running Spatial Library Server on their personal workstations while simulataneously accessing the data on the shared server.
