An hour or so later and after the third unsuccessful trial-and-error attempt your nerves have been wrecked and you give up.
Save your nerves, your time and don’t waste your money. Take advantage of our flat-rate Install Support (for workstations only). Specialists, rather often even the developers, take care of your installation and configuration needs by remote session and/or phone. So you can start right away to successfully put your new add-on to work.
