One of the specific differences between Home and Pro is that Home will
only allow 5 concurrent logins to a shared network resource whereas
Pro will allow 10.
So with 9 PCs on the network it is likely that using Pro instead of
Home on the PC that is hosting the shared database will resolve the
problem.
Good luck
