If you have multiple PDQ Inventory administrators (two or more) in your organization, you can share your collections and reports and also access other shared collections and reports. (Enterprise mode required, see below.)
In Enterprise mode, PDQ Inventory allows you to share your collections and report with other administrators who belong to the same PDQ Inventory license. You can also choose to access shared collections and reports from other PDQ Inventory administrators who belong to the same Enterprise license.
IMPORTANT: Sharing has been superseded by the new Central Server feature and will be removed in a future version.
IMPORTANT: Sharing is permitted only between activated administrator accounts (Enterprise Activation) on a multi-user Enterprise license. It is recommended that both databases use the same version of PDQ Inventory to avoid any incompatibility. For more information on activating Enterprise users, see Enterprise Activation.
This chapter outlines how to enable package sharing between administrators who belong to the same Enterprise license and how to manage which folders and packages are shared in your console.

If you choose to access other administrators’ shared collections and reports, the shared database, shared collections, and shared reports display in the PDQ Inventory console tree in Shared Databases as follows:
If the administrators' database that you are accessing is located on a PDQ Inventory console with a different version of PDQ Inventory installed, there may be compatibility issues between the different versions of the database. The warning(s) will be displayed in the Shared Databases as follows:
