NOTE: You need an internet connection to register and activate the product. LexisNexis does not support wireless networks with the Time Matters software. Our software is designed to operate on a Local Area Network (LAN). We do not operate on network technologies like Peer-to-Peer or token rings. Our software does require your network meet a minimum standard of network reliability. We can help you understand whether your network meets our standards. In the event your network requires upgrading we can connect you with a skilled CIC to help.

Time Matters is not supported over a WAN (Wide Area Network). Connecting to the Time Matters database over a WAN or VPN may result in serious latency or inoperable software. Servers must reside on the same physical network, unless supported remote access technologies are used.
