F.A.Q

The layout and presentation of the new version is basically the same as the previous version but more ‘polished’. Additionally we committed to using javascript in this version which improves the interactivity. In version 2.5.1 we used javascript but did not commit making interactivity suffer.

The display is similar but there are many more customizations available in the new version. For example, the database is expanded allowing you many more fields to customize . There are now ten-fifteen user defined fields as opposed to only two or three in the previous version. Additionally there are two different contact information section in the data. There are many other features including 40 additional visual skins, user settings which allows much finer control of end user behaviour, the ability to allow end users to add/edit themselves, user group level permissions, much finer control of email notifications, better submission filtering, much better control of drop down items, the ability to customize the export of the data, the ability to upload files for import, and tons of other stuff.

To license either the downloadable server version or the calendar hosted version you must purchase a registration license which costs $149.95. This is a one-time fee. This allows you to run the software behind a single URL.

The registration license includes one calendar license. If you wish to deliver additional calendars you must purchase additional single calendar licenses for $30.00 each. This is also a one-time fee. You may add additional calendars to your license at any time. Every fifth calendar you purchase is free.

You may purchase the optional to do list or contact list components for $99.95 each. This is also a one-time fee. You may deliver a single to do list or contact list from all calendars or a seperate one from each calendar (your choice – same price).

The above licenses include two free technical support incidences per year. The third and subsequent incedences cost $45.00 per incident.

If you choose to use our calendar hosting service there is an additional monthly hosting fee (however the first three months are fre). We accept only annual subscriptions however we do prorate to the start of the next calendar quarter if you decide to leave early. The annual hosting subscription is $179.40 ($14.95 per month). The calendar hosting service includes unlimited technical support.

You may purchase additional single calendars for $30.00 a piece at our online store or you may call or email with an order. Please include all pertinant information.

Please forward a copy of the original registration license, or, if you cannot find it, the name and email address of the original licensee. The licensee’s email address may be found by logging in as a super user and then clicking on Administer | Registration License.

The cost of additional single calendars is the same as it would have been had you purchased the licenses when you first registered.

The software keeps track of the date and time of your last registration. Depending on that date certain upgrades may require you to re-register the software. The message will appear if you need to re-register.

You may purchase a re-registration license for a one-time fee of $99.95 at our online store or you may call or email with an order. Please include all pertinant information.

So that we may generate the correct upgraded license we need a copy of your original registration license and/or the name and email of the person who first registered the software. We need this so as to give you the proper number of calendar licenses and optional components.

The source code for Calendar for the Web is not available.

We do understand however, that some clients may wish to keep a copy of our software source code and downloadables in escrow. We are open to this but only if you agree to make all the arrangements and pay all fees for the service. We will then agree to post our code to the source code escrow account.

Please contact us if you need any further assistance.

Yes we do. We provide a 10% discount to all non-profit organizations. Please make sure to ask us about this when you place your order.

The initial software and calendar licenses are priced indentically to the download server version. Please see our software prices webpage for more information.

Your initial software license includes three months of free calendar hosting (even if you don’t use it). After three months we charge you a hosting fee of $14.95 (in annual installments of $179.40 only). If you quit the year early we refund your payment prorated to the end of the current quarter.

Yes.

We will contact you about three weeks prior to the date that you account comes up for renewal. If we have your payment information on file we will inform you that we will automatically renew your subscription unless you let us know not to.

When you get this email please pay attention to it – we sometimes include interesting or important information about your account. Also, we may ask you to update your payment information if it is out of date.

In no case will we ever remove or delete an account without having first gotten explicit emailed instructions to do so. So you needn’t worry that you will lose any data.

We’ve been hosting this service for many years and have experienced very few incidences lasting more than an hour where the servers became unavailable. We are notified immediately if something goes wrong with one of our servers and move quickly to correct whatever problem may exist.

The great majority of the problems our clients have experienced accessing their software has to do with the nature of the internet itself. In order to deliver a web page (such as our calendar) 20-30 computers (called routers) must co-operate. If any one of them has a problem the page may not be delivered in a timely manner. The internet is designed re-route the request through a different pathway if one pathway is not working. This re-routing may take ten to fifteen minutes to complete. We estimate that you may experience two or three such incidences per year.

Finally, concerning backing up and protecting your data. We make a full system backup of our servers each night and keep multiple daily copies on file at all times. Depending on the load on a particular server we can recover up to four or five days backups. Having said that – we’ve never had to actually use the backup servers we’ve had in place for many years (knock on wood).

Yes you may. The process is described under the Domain Name Services page.

Yes indeed. Full documentation is included when you download the SDK.

No. Please see the implementation notes which are available when you download the software.

The SDK is written so that it is independent of its underlying operating system and/or 3D graphics rendering system. The current implementation uses OpenGL rendering but adding support for other rendering systems such as Direct 3D would not be that difficult. Subclassing the vrTraverser to implement various rendering systems is fully supported.

While the system is designed to be cross platform it has been ported only to Windows versions after and including Windows XP and 2003. We would be interested in hearing from anyone that would like to port the software to other platforms.

The source code for this library is available for $99.95. You may purchase a license here. There are no restrictions on your use of the source code other than that you may not redistribute it in any form other than object code.

We know of people who have used the SDK for many uses. Among them:

• A physical modeling library

• 3D recognition using laser scanning

• Robot manipulation modeling

• File import/export

• Screen savers

• A game programming college course

• The Human Motion Editor

• Programmatic generation of VRML files

• Medical simulation

• Electronic commerce

• Virtual reality
• Ph.D. Thesis combining radiosity with photorealistic walkthrough

VRaniML is a C++ library. You may extend it as you would any C++ library. Additionally you may purchase the source code for a one-time fee of $99.95 to make any changes you wish.
