Site/Server URL
You will need the Methasoft server URL in order to install the Methasoft client. If your site is hosted by Methasoft, Methasoft Support can provide you with the hosted site URL. If you use a local (non-hosted) Methasoft server, you will need the server address. Your internal IT dept. should be able to provide this to you.
