Hi, Yes, only one computer can be in the library at a time. There is data being written back and forth within the database while iTunes is running thus, only one user can have write access at any given time. My best suggestion for getting around this is with an iTunes Match subscription. With iTunes Match, all your music is placed up in iCloud as well as the ability to keep it local. You are allowed 25,000 songs as part of your subscription, but any iTunes purchased or matched songs don't count towards that 25,000. Now, there are two things that would make this not a desirable solution for some. Rirst, you must pay an annual subscription fee of $25 to $30 depending on your country of residence. Second, it only handles music, not your movies and/or TV shows. Using a combination of iCloud and Home Sharing can usually help work around this though.
