Important, please note:
1. You cannot have 2 instances of Infigo Sync on the same computer or server. If you would like the sync to run on many storefronts, then you will require a platform API key. If you're running the sync on one storefront, then you can configure it at storefront level with a storefront API key.
2. Before you start the installation process please switch off all other programs and processes (including antivirus software, and if installing on a sever, the firewall). These services interrupt the installation process and prevent install.
