We will try to respond to your inquiry within 24 to 48 hours. However, if your question relates to any thing documented at our site, we will politely point you to its location.

If your problem with our software involves something that is not covered in our documentation and installation instructions, we will be more than glad to assist you if it is related to exclusively to our software and not its installation and function on your specific server and/or platform. However, and please note, we WILL NOT teach you how to use the software or make modifications to the various aspects of it, including template modification. This falls under the category of end-user training and we will be glad to negoitiate a fee for our training services.

    Question
    Is there any way I can remove your copyright tag at the bottom of all HTML webpages produced by your program?
    Answer
    SPECIAL PRICING OPTION:
    MembersAssistant's Retail price is $49.95. We require in our product license that our copyright tags be left intact.

    If you haven't already made your purchase and you desire to remove our copyright tags, simply include an additional $50.00 (for a total purchase price of $99.95) at the time of purchase. Just place a check inside the box for the $50 option.

    If you have already purchased MembersAssistant at the $49.95 and wish to pay the additional $50 now for the copyright removal option, please contact us for further instructions and an order form.

    Please note: All copyright tags found in the headers of all the scripts that come with this program, however, must remain intact. We retain complete ownership and copyrights to this program and all related files that are included with or produced by MembersAssistant. A buyer has been granted a single-user non-exclusive license for only its use as specified within our license agreement and no copyrights are conferred at any price. If you would like to purchase the full rights to this program, including ownership and all copyrights, you may contact us with an offer ;-)

     
    Question
    Although I like your program, is there any way you can modify it to include and eliminate features that I need and don't need for my site?
    Answer
    Absolutely. We will be glad to work with you and your specific needs. However, because we are a business, like any business, we wouldn't be around for long if we did if for free (our program is very extensive for a very small price). Our standard fee for labor is $50 per hour or contractual per job. We will modify our entire program to suit your particular needs at a negotiated price, or build you a custom one from the ground up. If you may be interested in either minor or more extensive modifications, or a completely custom program, feel free to contact us detailing precisely your needs to obtain a quote.

    So, if you contact us about doing something unrelated to an actual error, or bug, caused by our program (free support for the first year), we will politely refer you to this notice.
     
    Question
    I maintain a server for a non-profit organization and was wondering if you make exceptions for charging for your product?
    Answer
    Just like you, we incur costs in our web-presence and aiding others for their business and/or pleasure in their endeavors. Until such time we may discover means that will permit giving away our product that required many hours of hard work, unfortunately, we must charge all alike.

    With that said, as time permits, we do plan to offer in the future a condensed lite version of MembersAssistant to those who might not need the extensive features programmed in its regular licensed version. News of this release will be posted at our website with instructions on how to obtain the free smaller version.
     
    Question
    I purchased MembersAssistant and am having trouble with installing it. Where do I go for help?
    Answer
    We have gone to great lengths to provide a complete online HTML installation instructions packet. To keep your download size smaller, we have made it availabe online at our site at this location:

    https://jdks.adam2.org/membersassistant/documentation/instructions.html

    It is recommended you bookmark this link for future convenience. For any question that is not covered in our extensive help files, you may use our form for contacting us. Please, make sure you have read this documentation thoroughly before doing so. We spent a lot of time and trouble to delevop these help pages that would cover most, if not all, questions concerning installation and use.
     
    Question
    I am new to installing and running cgi (perl) scripts and was wondering if you do installations for this program?
    Answer
    Yes. For those who desire us to install (for a fee) MembersAssistant on your Linux/Unix server for your site use, and you HAVE NOT made your purchase yet, just check the option on our order form for the additional one-time installation fee to be added to your purchase.

    If your HAVE ALREADY made your purchase and DID NOT opt for installation at the time of purchase, please contact us for instructions on a one-time installation fee payment.

    In either case, after we have recieved payment, we will contact you with further instructions. (Minimum requirements for custom installation.)
     
    Question
    I already have a members folder with a password file and flat file database. How does your program convert my old system?
    Answer
    It doesn't. Our program is designed and intended for new start ups. However, we do provide an optional conversion script (as seen in our instructions directory tree) that may or may not work for your members database file. It is available upon request. There are several ways of merging databases, none of which we will recommend over another (every one has their own way of doing things).

    All succeeding versions from your original purchase (upgrades are free for the first year) comes with a conversion script (upon request) that is designed for aiding in importing our own old database, if it has changed, into the new one. Because we want to keep our product at a low price for many, installation and that kind of help is available at an additional cost.

    We are glad to support any program error found within the operation of our program free of charge for the first year, but custom assistance for individual needs in setup, modifications, etc. we do only for a fee (we have to eat too).

    For your password file, .htpasswd, it is basically universal with Unix/Linux .htaccess program. The only difference between the one created by our program and yours may be the delimiter between the username:encrypted_pwd. Most plain text editors have a "Find and Replace All" feature that will allow you to make the edit with just one click. If you don't have one, we recommend NoteTabPro or their free version, NoteTabLite (it will load and edit a file up to 16 MB in size!).
     
    Question
    I am planning to use MembersAssistant on more than one server. Can I install my one purchase on all servers?
    Answer
    Sorry, but MembersAssistant is sold with a single user/machine license. This means that your single one item purchase may be used only on one machine or server--one URL address. It may be installed on that machine or server at that specific URL as many times as needed, for as many directories as required.

    If you intend to use MembersAssistant on more than one machine, a different server, or different URL, you will need either a separate multiple-use or site license.

    If you have already made your single one item purchase but desire multiple uses for different machines/servers/URL, contact us for obtaining a license for your specific need.
     
    Question
    Can I use your product on any other type server than Linux?
    Answer
    Currently, MembersAssistant has only been programmed to work on newer versions of Unix/Linux servers (i386 tested). It is also recommended that your server have at the minimum Perl version 5.0 installed. We are working on a version that will be supported by Win/NT but do not have a release date as of yet. Sorry.
     
    Question
    Is your product set up to handle dated subscriptions that automatically expire when the period is up they have paid for or chosen? If so, how are the renewals handled?
    Answer
    No. Our current version is set up to handle one-time, non-expiring subscription memberships to a single specific webfolder you passprotect at your site. Thought is being given to release a future version for website owners who charge for subscriptions the options for users to choose different subscription packages: lifetime, yearly, monthly, etc.
