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.
