Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ: Is there any way we could get a free or discounted upgrade?

Option 2) Refer a new customer, and get $100 coupon toward upgrade.

Your case study can be published in any approved publication, including the Systems2win web site or newsletter. Contact us with your ideas for a case study.
FAQ: When we upgrade, do we get free updates throughout the year?
Excel Add-in application - yes. Starting with version 5, the Systems2win Add-in contains most of the Visual Basic code that performs calculations and macros. You can upgrade your Add-in at any time for free.
Templates - no. You get a new set of personalized templates each time that you purchase an upgrade.
FAQ: Can we purchase some templates now, and then still get a discount if we buy some more later?
Quantity discounts are for purchases made on a single sales order.
FAQ: Are there different upgrade prices for a la carte templates?
The upgrade price is the same no matter how many templates you own.
FAQ: We were one of Systems2win's early clients - and we own a lifetime license for unlimited users. How do upgrades work for us?
The license that you own for your unlimited-user templates - you own for life.
But those (version 5 and lower) templates will not continue to be updated.If you elect to upgrade some of your users to the latest version (with per-seat licensing), you still own a license for unlimited users for your templates version 5 or lower. (Some of which aren't likely to change much over the next 10 years, because they are already well-designed for their purpose.)
When you receive your new templates, you will want to create a second portal, rather than overwriting your old one.
That way everyone in your unlimited-user-licensed company, division, or location can continue to use your Version 5 or lower templates for many more years, while your new per-seat licensed users move forward with the new version.AND as a valued early customer, you are eligible to purchase new per seat users at the UPGRADE price - rather than paying full list price. Price is based on the number of months since your most recent purchase or upgrade of your version 5 or lower templates.
FAQ: Can we share documents between users with lower and higher versions?
Higher versions support documents created using lower version templates.
Lower versions are not able to share documents with higher versions.
FAQ: Does Systems2win still support Office 2000?
Version 5 is actually more compatible with Office 2000 than version 4, and Systems2win will continue to support version 5 customers through the end of their Annual Maintenance support period.
But starting with version 6, as each template gets upgraded, any further attempt to support Office 2000 will be discontinued.
Users of Office 2000 should also be aware that Microsoft has made it incompatible to use Office 2000 on a computer running Internet Explorer 7. Microsoft stopped supporting Office 2000 years ago, and has no plans to fix this. (So if you're using Office 2000, don't upgrade from IE6) For more info, see known issues.
