Console 8 employs concurrent technology which uses hard-coded paths and registry access on your local machine to function. Other software could create a conflict, or prevent these settings from occurring. We recommend that Console 8 be installed on a machine that has as few other software applications installed as possible. |
||
Note: The Console 8 software must be installed locally in a dedicated (fat client) environment - thin/zero/web/citrix clients are not supported. |
