To follow-up on Alex's response, Yes, an IACC database can contain multiple CP databases up to roughly the 12,000 block limit. Further the IACC server can can contain multiple IACC databases with each IACC database containing 1 or more CP databases. Each IACC database is editable by one user at a time as Alex mentioned. This makes the decision on how you divide up your CP databases into IACC databases important of course. In most cases we recommend a 1 to 1 relationship between IACC database and CP databases to alleviate this concurrency issue and conform with the current limits established by ICC and FoxCAE. (Couldn't help throwing in my two cents...)

In IACC, a database may hold one or more CP database. IACC is an ICC replacement. It exceeds the ICC in every respect including the size of the database. It's most commonly perceived limitations are: 1) Its database architecture supports only 12,000 objects in a database (about 3 CPs maximum) 2) Only one person may edit a database at a time. Relative to the ICC, #2 is no different especially if the database is limited to one CP as you suggest. Thus, IACC is a very good ICC replacement though by no means is it the ultimate configuration tool. We hope that IEE will grow to be as great an improvement over IACC as IACC is over the ICC. Note: FoxCAE users like their tool combined with ICC, but it has reached a mature state and does not handle some of the new features, e.g., FF device configuration. Make sense?

Question ..... Can two databases co-exist within the IACC? In other words can the CP's have there own database?

As in all decisions, there are trade-offs. IEE supports only V8.2 and later and only equipment that was preferred in that release (so not 100-Series I/O). It also lacks FV integration which can be a big time saver for new projects. IACC supports from V6.4 and later and all station types. It has FV integration. Both IEE and IACC have similar configuration tool sets though IEE is much better looking. If the project is grassroots new, IEE is the better control configuration tool. If the project has any older equipment or could benefit from FV integration, IACC is the better choice. Does that help?
