If all your computers meet the System Requirements you're ready to install ATX.

IMPORTANT: Your ATX software will only install to the computer's primary hard drive. While the ATX application location cannot be altered, you will be able to choose where the ATX work product data files you create are stored (i.e, a secondary drive, network drive, external drive, etc.). See Changing Your File Storage Location.

Do not install the payroll product to the same folder as ATX™ 2023.
