Information
about the types of licenses available
The licensing
options are spelled out in License
Keys
Why don't you
make the E-Write products available without requiring the License Key to
unlock
the software?
We expect that,
in many situations, our software will be used across a large number
of users within a company. The License Key was the
only way
we have to be sure each user is properly licensed to use the
software.
We are truly sorry for the inconvenience of this. If
your
company is interested in a version that does not require a
License
Key, please email
Sales@WestEnterprisesSW.com
Why doesn't E-Write use a standard file format instead of inventing
its own?
The only way to
get the file size down to its small size was to use a hybrid file
architecture.
The file is partly a raster image (like a compressed bitmap)
with
high resolution vector based color ink appended to each
page.
All other, standard, file formats would have been much much
larger.
Why doesn't
E-Write for Word work in Outlook when it is the email editor?
We have been
working on this off and on for two years. There is a bug in Word
when
used as the email editor for Outlook. It precludes us
from
being able to add the ink to the document. Microsoft
has acknowledged
the bug but has not agreed to fix it yet.
Why doesn't the
mouse work with E-Write and E-Write for Word? Why do I have to use
a tablet and pen?
The E-Write
products use only high resolution input for "inking". This
requires a high resolution pointing device and the Wintab
interface
or driver for that pointing device. A mouse just won't
do.
Why can't I use
E-Write with a color document?
The target for
the first E-Write market was simple documents. We realize that
there is another market for full-color documents. The
ability
to review and comment on Desktop published documents or Web
pages
would require "full-color" bitmaps and would change the
underlying strategy for our electronic mark-up. We may
do
a color product. Please let us know of your interest
and requirements.
