Back in the day (90s), I installed single user license DATA FOLDERS to the network regularly. It worked. SFA support got huffy when they found out but I told them that the IT department insisted on it.
I would "think" that the install program would know the difference between a network drive and local drive and prevent this from happening, but it is worth a try.
Are you saying Sage doesn't recognize the local install?
