Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

CDROM has 5 programs on it: When you received your CDROM, A-2 Technologies has included 5 software programs for you to try. You can try each software program for 45 days, before it expires and stops working. If you bought one program (such as the inventory software), and you show proof of purchase, we will send you the unlock codes for the inventory software only. All of the other software was included on the CDROM, so you can play with it to see if you want to purchase it.

Registration: All of our Windows 98 to XP software requires you to register the software. All software sent out from A-2 Technologies requires you to register, and everyone receives the "45 Day Trial Period" until you register the software. The registration screen will show up the very first time you run the software. It notifies you that you need to register, to avoid having the software stop running after 45 days. Please fill out the form, and e-mail, fax, or US Postal mail it to us. (E-Mail is the fastest). IMPORTANT! You must provide proof of purchase by showing us your invoice, or packing slip. Each time you send us a registration form, the numbers on the bottom of the form will change. Please do not worry about these changes, as these numbers are for A-2 Technologies only.

Can you install the software on more than one computer? You can install the software on as many computers as you wish, however, we will only send you one unlocking code per customer. This means the 45 day timer will expire on any additional computer you have installed the software. We offer special pricing for any customer who wishes to install the software on more than one computer in your center. Please contact A-2 Technologies for this special pricing.

Your vendor changed their prices: What can you do when the vendors prices change every year? We offer a disk that you can install on your computer that will change the prices automatically for Brunswick, AMF, and Quality vendors. We currently have pricing update disks for USA & Canada. If you require a disk for special pricing from another vendor, contact A-2 Technologies for special instructions. For instructions on how to update the prices when you receive the update disk, please click here.
