NOTIFICATION TO ALL USERS RE MOVING OF MAIN PROBATE SYSTEM V INSTALLATIONS
Important information regarding the moving of a main Probate System V installation-
Recently, there seems to have been a rash of new computer buying in Nebraska. It has come to our attention that many of our users don’t seem to understand how the Nebraska system is licensed.
The Nebraska Probate System V can be installed on a network drive and be available to as many people as there are Work Station installations. People with work station installations can not open files from their computer although they can work on them. There was originally a concept of a shared meter but it was dropped as it caused too many problems.
All new files must be purchased from the computer upon which the original installation was created. This is because of the meter. The meter itself is only licensed to one computer.
If you move the installation to a new computer, the link to the meter will be broken. Although you will be able to work on the files you have already created, you will be unable to purchase new files.
Therefore, if you want to move the MAIN installation, you will need to have an entirely new installation done, ie you will need to contact Rose at (914) 827-9173 and make an appointment as you did the first time. As a consideration for the extra time involved, we simply ask that if you have less than 5 units on your system, you purchase at least one additional unit so that we can have legitimate purchase code for the reinstallation.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation and continued support.
