Question
When I try to install my software, I get a message that says "Error 26: Cannot Communicate with Network Server." What does this mean?
Answer
This indicates that the installer could not contact X10's download server. All of our paid software programs are currently available via download only. Your computer needs to be online to install and register the software. This allows for easy and quick updates with each new version and ensures that previous versions of our programs do not ship out with the hardware. After installation, you can remove the computer from the Internet connection if you want.
