All InnQuest Software products have a pre-determined commercial lifetime. In order to provide the highest quality products, meet security/PCI guidelines and support to our customers, each product is developed utilizing a product lifecycle methodology, which includes an End-of-Life (EOL) phase.
Once a product enters End of Life status, InnQuest Software will be unable to provide updates, fixes or service packs. Once a product enters End of Support status, InnQuest cannot provide any type of support or sell any add-on modules for that version of the software.

Make sure you are installing during regular support hours, since emergency/off-hours support is not available for installation issues.
roomMaster can be run stand-alone or by multiple users on a network.
Follow the installation software’s prompts, selecting Next/Finish until the installation program is completed. If you’re running stand-alone, you’re finished! Otherwise, continue to the next step.
You need to share the roomMaster program directory with full access to all users.
Next, you need to create a roomMaster shortcut for each workstation.
