Unfortunately no... you can purge them from the system to reclaim the licensing though. The reason it's done that way is in the beginning licensing was $1,500 per 1,000 ACTIVE customers. Well... a couple ISPs realized that they could just deactivate everyone in the system, but know in their minds that they are still active. So we were forced to change the licensing to all customers but to balance it, we dropped the price to $1,000 per 1,000 customers. So if you want to reclaim the licenses of inactive accounts, you need to delete them from the database. >2) Is there any reason not to start out running Optigold on a Win 95 >computer? Nope... no reason whatsoever. >3) If the above is possible, are there any problems migrating to Win NT? Nope... it would take about 60 seconds. Everything is contained within the 23 data files. So you can migrate them to NT, 95, 98 or even Macintosh just by copying them to the machine. >4) What data gets converted from Quickbooks to Optigold? If you are talking about importing customers from QuickBooks, it's really just the Customer Info. (Not the transactional data) >5) If I start setting up the free trial version, will I have to redo >that work when I load Optigold or will it merge all of the information? Nope... the free trial version is actually the real software, 100% working. Just limited to 100 customers. (Some startup ISPs use it without buying it just because they don't have more than 100 customers). So you can get the initial license (or upgrade an existing one) without loosing any data. - Shawn ------------------------------- Shawn D.
