Company Selection Keeps Appearing

When a new terminal number is assigned to a computer, you will see the Company Selection (Select Another Company) window if this terminal number has never been used before. Usually you just enter the company number for this terminal number and continue.


 

The default company number is 01. If you are unsure of your company number, try 01. Note that this is a 2 digit number.

However, you might find that the Company Selection window appears over and over, even after you enter the company number. This is usually because your Window's User does not have the proper permissions (Read, Write, Delete) to the software folder. If this is happening, please review the software installation page to be sure the permissions are correct. Software Installation - Client
