Hi Cari -
As I stated in my post:
| I have no experience with this software, am not affiliated with its
| developer and can make no recommendations as to its suitability

I was not advocating or recommending the product... I was reporting that it
does, in fact, exist.
I did note that a Home Network license is US$39.99 for one server and up to
four client licenses and a Business Network license is US$99.99 for one
server and up to ten client licenses.
For a small office, when the license is maxed out at four clients (home) or
ten clients (business), US$10.00 is not going to buy an inexpensive scanner
for each workstation. I do agree, however, that if the license isn't maxed
out, it may be much more economical to purchase an inexpensive scanner for
each workstation.
For my own uses, I have installed my scanner driver on both my desktop and
notebook computers. When I want to use it with either system, the USB Plug
& Play connectivity suits me just fine. This, in my opinion, is probably an
ideal solution to most circumstances where "sharing" a scanner is desired.
The scanner sits on a shelf when not in use and is an easy "sneaker-net" to
carry to whichever system I need to use it on.
