To find out versions of ZipCloud you are running please open your desktop application and check out the version number in the top right hand corner.
You are also able to view the version in the bottom right of the footer inside the control panel.
At the moment you can only run a single version of the software at a time on any single device. You can reassign the license by contacting support; support@ZipCloud.com but at the moment we restrict use to one version per machine.
ZipCloud refers to the 'system tray' alot throughout it's instructional documentation. Your system tray is located in the bottom right hand corner of your screen next to the clock and date. Your system tray is where you will be able to see ZipCloud running and you will be able to access the site and settings menu from here.
