Superfast Quick Pass
​
You want to just get a feeling about what the features are of the Acumatica Cloud ERP solution. You are not interested so much in how to process transactions such as a sales order, purchase order, payments, .etc. You just want to play with the software, and you have no time to set up your own local server. You have to be a serious prospect. A prospect is serious when we had a first meeting to cover your general requirements and a general demo, and a second sales meeting to cover your specific needs and a specific demo. Commitment from both sides will put us on the road of success.
Do not use it for internal production purposes. We are monitoring abuse. Then you go through the Superfast Quick Pass steps as follows:

-
To enable http access from an HTML browser to your local server, you have to do the following:
-
Get a static routable IP address
-
In your router to which your LAN is connected, and which has NAT, do the following:
-
Forward the static internal IP address of your local server (I assume that you set up a static internal IP address eg. 192.168.1.100) in your local server/desktop) to the static routable IP address that you got from your ISP.
-
-
-
Install Microsoft Windows 10 Pro software if needed. Download from here for $99. Assign a static internal IP address. Not DHCP.

Install Microsoft Windows SQL Server 2019 Express. Free download from here. Check limitations.

I recommend a local login userid and password for the SQL database. Eg. user: sa and password: .....
