Notes:
-
The software installation procedure is the same
for all editions of ClockWatch. Note that ClockWatch Client
requires ClockWatch Server to be installed on the network.
-
There is no need to reinstall over the trial
software—simply enter the keycode to engage full functionality.
-
ClockWatch can be installed directly over a
previously installed version or edition. Some ClockWatch options have changed,
so you may need to reset some time setting or display options after starting
the new software.
-
ClockWatch Server requires a license utility
installation to function with more than one client. Contact Beagle
Software at 612-370-1091 or by
to request this utility.
-
From download:
Download the file from www.beaglesoft.com and save to a location on
your PC. Double-click on the file to initiate installation.

days from installation.

For registered purchasers: When asked
for the key code, enter the 7-character code
exactly as printed on the sticker on the CD envelope (or from
your confirmation email). Enter this code on the registration page of the

Removing ClockWatch from a system will remove all executables, help files, log
files, registry settings and DLLs that are registered exclusively to
ClockWatch. To remove ClockWatch you need to use the uninstall utility provided
with the software:
-
Exit ClockWatch, stop
all background instances of ClockWatch, including services.
-
Select the
Uninstall program (uninstall.exe) from
the Programs>Beagle Software directory.

wizard. Accept the defaults.
If asked if you want to
remove shared DLLs, it is safest not
to remove them in case they are in use by another program.
