A multi-user program that uses at least 2 different executables (modules): one that is run on a central computer, and is called the "Server", and one that is run on one or more computers connected to this, and is called the "Client". In cases where the "Server" has no user interface, for setup and configuration, there is another module included, called "Administrator". This is the case with DMUSB.
