XTime Lite Installation Guide - V2.17.01.2 Page 21 of 22 NOTE: The same procedure is run for both the XTLite and the XTElite systems. You are allowed a trial of both. Two separate folders should be created should you wish to have a trial of each. Once the trial of a system is registered, the systems are not interchangeable, in other words you cannot run a Lite application on an Elite database and vice versa. That is why 2 separate folders must be created; one system in each. ** END OF GUIDE ** XTime Lite Installation Guide - V2.17.01.2 Page 22 of 22
