URLs are different for test/live systems - for example:<br></p><p><code>http://yourserver:8084/LiveSoap/KhaosKSD.ex</code>e</p><p><br>...and:<br></p><p><code>http://yourserver:8084/DemoSoap/defaultSoap/KhaosKSD.exe</code><br><br>The correct URL(s) to use should be obtained from your Khaos setup/config, or their support team.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
