Add-in used by more than one user

[Harry]

Usually, when a workbook is saved on a shared drive, only one person has
access to it at a time.

Does the same prohibition apply to add-ins?

thanks

Addins are generally code repositories, maybe they hold some static data,
but they do not get updated within the process. So effectively they are
read-only and you can have as many users as you wish accessing them.

However, you do have the problem that the shared drive may be offline, so
the addin is gone. Typically addins get installed on each client desk,
preferably using a self extracting installer.
