Finance Demonstration
Begin by downloading and installing the GenFinII program from our download page.
Then double-click on the 
icon on your desktop to
start the program.
You may receive a message from your firewall software asking if you would like GenFinII to act as a server. This occurs
because when you run GenFinII in standard mode each instance of GenFinII attempts to communicate directly with every other
instance on the network. This is to ensure that all users are kept up-to-date with any changes to the
database. You can safely disallow this unless you are planning to set up GenFinII for multiple users or to run
GenFinII in a client/server configuration.
You may also be asked to identify the IP address of your network if your computer is using multiple IP addresses.
