2. 64-bit system


- Limitations -

1. If you choose to use this application as freeware, you can run as many as two clocks at a time. There is no limitation as to how many clocks you can run at a time once you purchase the Unlimited Clocks add-on. Yet, you should be prepared for some memory consumption. For example, if you want to run 20 clocks at a time on a non-retina screen desktop computer, you may need as much as 110 MB of RAM.
2. The application does not connect a remote server to get the accurate time for each time zone. Rather, it will figure out all time zone differences relative to the time on the system clock. Therefore, it is essential that the user keeps the accurate time on their system.
3. The application window is not resizable. It has a fixed size with its width extending from left to right on your desktop.
4. The fullScreen mode is not supported.
