UPGRADES: Version 3.x users can upgrade for only $9.99. Please click here for upgrade instructions.

IMPORTANT: New users installing the Plus version may also need MDAC 2.x from Microsoft. If you are running Windows 95 and don't already have it, please install MDAC 2.6. If you are running Windows 98/ME/2000/NT/XP and don't already have it, please install MDAC 2.8. Usually, but not always, only Windows 95/98 users will need to install the newest MDAC.

Trial and Registered Versions: The trial and registered versions are the same and use the same download file. The trial version is a functional version of the software with the only limitation being a 14 day time limit. To convert the trial version to a registered version, simply purchase a license, and a registration code will be immediately provided. Enter this registration code on the handheld to enable the full version with no limitations. You do not need to install the software again.

Software Updates: If you have already installed a previous version of the software, you only need to download and install the update file. The update files are smaller and will download faster than the full version. Make sure that you download the correct update (Lite vs Plus), as the registration codes are different for each.

Software on CD-ROM: If you have trouble downloading large files, or you wish to have a backup copy of the software on CD-ROM, order a CD-ROM. The CD-ROM contains the trial versions of all of our products. You will still need to purchase the particular software product(s) that you want to get a registration code.
