.Q. Can I install Stat/Transfer on a network server?

A. There is no technical reason why you cannot, but there is a legal one. Your license allows you to use the software only on a single, dedicated computer.  If you want to share the use of Stat/Transfer,  please obtain our economical site license.


Q. Can I share the use of Stat/Transfer with my colleagues?

A. Only if the use occurs on a single machine.  Please encourage the future development and support of Stat/Transfer by complying with our license agreement.
 

Q. How do I re-install Stat/Tranfer after a disk crash?

A. If you are using Stat/Transfer Version 8 or below, and you have a physical Stat/Transfer CD, just re-install the software; It will generate a new license for you. If you received your copy over the internet, you can download a new demo copy from our Downloads page. If you have the e-mail we sent you with your license, you can re-activate your copy by installing your license file.  Otherwise, send us an e-mail giving us as much detail as possible about your version, and how, where and when you purchased Stat/Transfer and we will see if we can send you a new license.

If you are using Stat/Transfer Version 9, and you have a physical Stat/Transfer CD, just re-install the software.  If you received your copy over the internet, you can download a new demo copy from our Downloads page. If you have the e-mail we sent you with your activation code, you can re-activate your copy by going through the activation process. Otherwise, send us an e-mail giving us as much detail as possible about your version, and how, where and when you purchased Stat/Transfer and we will see if we can send you an activation code.


Q. How do I move my copy of Stat/Transfer from one computer to another?

A. For Version 8 or below, on Windows, the file "license.dat" is what distinguishes a demo copy from a licensed copy.  You can use your disk or download a demo from our Downloads page, install it and then copy the "license.dat" file from your old computer to your new computer.

For Version 9, re-install the software, either from your disk or from our website. Then use your activation code to activate the program. 


Q. Why can't I buy a "simultaneous use" license for Stat/Transfer?

A. The problem is that it takes so little time to do so much work with Stat/Transfer. If we allowed simultaneous use, one copy could cover a very large workgroup and we would not make enough to develop the next version. To figure out how many users you have in your workgroup, count the number of people who are likely to use Stat/Transfer in a one year period and buy enough licenses to cover that number. On unix, for those who do not want to bother with this, we have "single machine" licenses, that will cover an unlimited number of users on a single machine.


Q. Can I use Stat/Transfer in my office and also on my laptop at home?

A. Yes, that is explicitly permitted by our license.  If you are the primary user of the software you can install it on multiple machines.  However more than one user can not use the software on more than one machine.
