8. FAQ

Do I need to install .NET 8?

No. The installer bundles everything needed to run the app.

Does the trial use a different installer?

No. Both buttons on this site download the same Setup file.

I forgot my password after changing the initial one

Ask your system administrator or MK3 for a reset. Default Admin@123 only works until you change it on first login.

Can I use it on more than one PC?

Each install has its own local SQLite database. To share data across machines you need centralized PostgreSQL — contact MK3.

Does Windows clock affect the trial?

Yes. Rolling back system date/time to “gain” days can end the trial immediately. Keep the clock accurate and synced.

Where is my data stored?

By default in %LocalAppData%\Mk3Nfse\ (type that path in File Explorer’s address bar).
