CPC/Flextime Software Updates The following section includes the most current CPC/Flextime executables. The first document describes the recent modifications and/or bug fixes that have been addressed. The CPCClient and CPCServer files are the installations of the Client and Server portion of the software. Note: CPC/Flextime is a copyrighted program, and may not be used or installed by anyone except for the purpose of updating an existing CPC system. Additionally, in order to run correctly these installations require support files that were originally installed on your existing system - if you don't have an existing system, these applications will not function properly.
