Read through all instructions first before proceeding.
1. Both AyaNova and AyaNovaLite requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4
•If the .NET Framework is not found the setup program will guide you through downloading and installing it.
•If for some reason due to your computer, the setup does not guide you through, then download via the link at https://www.ayanova.com/download.htm and install.
2. If you haven't already, log into the computer as you normally do
•Do not perform any installation of AyaNova nor AyaNovaLite via remote access
3. Ensure no other programs are running during setup.
