FAQ - License

Our products are subscription based starting July 1, 2020.

We moved our software license model from perpetual license to annual subscription based on 7/1/2020. The new license fee is more expensive than the renew fee. You need to purchase a new license if the computer is not yet licensed or the current subscription on the computer has expired.

In order to qualify for the renew license, you must purchase AND activate the renew license before the current license expires. Once the license is expired, you need to purchase a new license for the computer.

We can auto renew your license with your permission. In order to do that, we need to save your credit card on file at Braintree.com, our payment processing partner. We do NOT keep your credit card information on our website. We will charge your credit card 10 days before your current subscription expires. Braintree conforms to PCI security regulation and will keep your credit card information safe.

General

What's the difference between a "Trial Program" and the "Licensed Program"?
The trial version is fully functional, not a stripped down version. However, it only outputs 10 records from the input file. And, some of the output fields are altered or scrambled. For example,

  • last name "Doe" will be altered to "DDD" and "Smith" to "SSSSS"
  • Claim number 1234 may be scrambled to "4321" or "2314"
  • Payment of $12.50 may be scrambled to $16.10 or another random amount

Please do not use the data displayed or exported by the trial version in your production Environment.
How does license work?

A license is issued to a specific computer. Once the license is activated on the computer, any user can use the program on that computer. If you use two computers in your office, you need to purchase 2 licenses, one for each computer.

For example, John and Mary are using the same computer and login using the same user name in the office, you need to purchase one license for that computer. If John is using two computers for his work, one desktop PC and one laptop PC, John needs to purchase 2 licenses, one for his desktop and one for his laptop computer.

What is a Site License?
A Site license allows you to install and activate multiple PC's in one geographical location, (Site). If your company has multiple locations (branch offices), you need to purchase one site license for each location. If you have two offices are with in 2 miles from each other, you can share the same site license. For example, company "ACME Corp" has two offices in an office complex in LA and one branch in NY city. Assuming offices in LA are in the same office complex and are within 2 miles from each other, Acme Corp needs to purchase 2 Site licenses, one for two LA offices and one for NY City office.
