FAQs
-
How many users can access the software simultaneously?
PC-based software licenses allow 2 users at a time, while cloud-based Cable Pro Web allows only one user logged in at a time per account, though multiple users can share login credentials. -
What is included in the maintenance cost?
Maintenance, called 'Updates and Support', costs 20% of the current license price annually after the first year and provides software updates and technical support. It is optional but required for unlimited license transfers. -
Are network licenses available?
Yes, network licenses are available for PC-based software packages at 20% additional cost, offering flexibility for sharing within larger or distributed teams. -
What currencies are accepted for purchase?
Purchases can be made directly in AUD on the website, or contact sales for quotations in other currencies to accommodate company vendor processes.
