On a single user version the database can only reside on a local drive, accessed by a single computer. You can still have multiple users but only one at a time will be able to use the program. A site license allows you to install the program on as many computers you want, at a single location or address. The databases can also be moved to a shared, network drive and shared by all the users. We have additional discounts for multiple sites.

What type of files or documents can be imported into your system?
The program can import Excel files or Microsoft Access databases. So if you can save your information in one of those formats you should be able to import it into our application. This is done with the included Import/Export module, available in both Maintenance and PM Coordinator.

Can you add modules to PM Coordinator?
No, only Maintenance Coordinator can be customized.

I would like to buy a more basic system to start off with (like PM Coordinator), and then upgrade to a better system later. Can this be done?
Yes, the data is fully upgradable from one version to another. However, please be aware that it will cost you an additional 20% when doing it this way. The cost is the price difference between the two product, times 1.2.  There may be some minor data loss when moving from MS-Acess to SQL Version as the databases are not 100% compatable.

I am running a demo version of your software, will I lose any of the data I have entered if I decide to buy?

Pretty much everything works with the demo except the turning on the password protection feature, and networking.
