The access code that you receive will work on any computer connected to the Internet. Every time you use your license (your access code) on a different computer than the last time you used it, it will be considered a transfer of license.

You are allowed a maximum of 30 transfers per month.

This allows users to use their license on any number of computers, but are limited (on average over a 30 day period) to switch computers every second day.

You cannot use the same license on two different computers at the same time.

To use DrillDraw one more than one computer without any restrictions and transfer limitations a different license for each computer is required.

No, once the initial login and verification of the access code has been completed via Internet you can use DrillDraw without an Internet connection for up to two weeks. After that time a warning message will let you know that if Internet is not connected soon the application will go back to trial mode until it can verify the licence again...

Note that even if the time expires and the application goes back to trial mode noting will be lost. Your drills and practices will always be there once the licence can be verified again and DrillDraw runs in normal mode.

Once login is complete and the licence transfer has been approved click on the "Tools" menu then select "Restore from backup", locate the DrillDraw backup file transferred earlier, then click the "Restore" button.

There is no time limit with the trial version. The program gets more and more restrictive (and annoying) the more you use it, but the amount of time it's been installed has no limit. So, after installation of the trial version you can play around with it when ever you get the time to do so.

All program updates to DrillDraw version 6 are free to DrillDraw version 6 licence users.
Upgrading from one version to another is not free. So there will be a fee (to be determined) to upgrade from version 6 to version 7, when version 7 is available, and if the user desires to do so (optional).

Not allowed in trial mode.
1. Click on the "Tools" menu then select "Create backup".
2. In the backup window make sure all the check boxes are checked.
3. You can then select the filename and location for the backup file.

5. Once the backup file is created, which takes only a few seconds, you can make a copy of file on a USB key or onto a CD or any other storage device.
