| Release Licence Lease Upon Application Shutdown | Releasing the lease is useful if you are floating your license among multiple machines. This will Allow you to close WireCAD on one machine and open it on another using the same license code. ----

| Default Project Database Host (SQL only) | If you are running on a SQL Server, this will be your default host name where your project database will be stored. | |
| Use SQL Server Project Databases By Default | ||
| Users (mere mortals) can select Project Database Mode |
Project File Structure
WireCAD will create a project folder wherever you selected and two subfolders:
- YourProjectName
- -Drawings
- -Project Databases
If you opted for SQL Server databases your Project Databases folder will be empty. This is normal since the database files reside on the server.
