Q How can we get updates and how much do they cost?
A

Updates are free of charge for Hosted accounts, and are applied automatically. However, if you use the Hosted Pro or Hosted Gold packages, and custom work has been made, an integration fee will be charged to re-integrate your modifications into the new version. For the Source Code package, one free upgrade is included upon a license purchase. Additional upgrades can be purchased afterwards. Click here for more details about the Source Code package.


Q I don't have a credit card. Do you offer alternate methods of payment?
A

Absolutely. Payments by check or through wire transfer are accepted as well. In either case, we require a three-month term minimum (Hosted packages). We always prefer when a P.O. (purchase order) can be emailed to us. Then, upon reception of your P.O., we'll email you an invoice.


Q Must we sign a long term contract when we subscribe to a hosted package? Is there a setup fee?
A

No. The is no setup fee, no matter which package you choose. You will be billed on the same day, every month, on a recurring basis. If someday you wish to terminate your monthly subscription, simply email a notice to us before the billing date, and we will simply cancel your subscription. You can get additional rebates if you choose to subscribe for a year. There is no refund allowed after 15 days for the yearly subscription. Upon cancellation, your database can be emailed to you, upon request.


Q What kind of support do you offer?
A

We can be reached by phone, email and live chat, from Monday to Friday, from 9am to 5pm ET (GMT-5). Our contact information can be found on our contact page.

Q Can we upgrade to a higher package at any time, without losing our data?
A

Absolutely. By upgrading your account, we will migrate your database, so nothing will be lost. Migration fees might be charged if the requested package uses a different database type, i.e. Hosted Gold (SQL Server) into Hosted Pro (MS Access) and vice versa.

Q Can our Hosted account data be transferred into the Source Code package?
A

If you purchase the Source Code package, you will not have to re-enter your data. Your package will be delivered with the .asp pages, along with your database (containing your data) and the installation procedure. Click here for more details about the Source Code package.

Q Is it possible to install AceProject locally, on our corporate intranet?
A

Yes. The Source Code package can be purchased for the number of users you need. The Source Code, your free account's database and the installation procedure are sent by email, as soon as your payment is received. Email and phone support are available if you need help during the installation.

Q How is the Source Code package pricing determined?
A

When a Source Code license is purchased, there is no limit in regards to the number of projects, tasks and amount of storage space. However, the license is based on the total number of users that will have access to the system. Click here for more information about the Source Code package pricing.
