Setting Your Computer System's Clock Correctly - Prior to installing the SoftPlan key, it is important to check that the date, time, and time zone are set correctly on the computer system and that all systems where the key will be installed are synchronized. Upon start-up, SoftPlan checks the time on your system relative to the time that the key was last used. As long as the system time is not set earlier than the last time the key was used, SoftPlan will open seamlessly. |
