Frequently Asked Questions
1.) “Do you accept
purchase orders?”-
Yes. Just send an email
to
info@minuteman-systems.com indicating what you wish to order.
Include a Purchase Order number and shipping address and we will ship
your order with an Invoice.
2.) "What's the difference between MinuteMan and MinuteManPlus?"
MinuteMan is best when you have one or a few projects.
MinuteManPlus is better when you have to keep track of multiple
projects. One MinuteMan project file will handle individual projects
of up to 200 tasks each (although there is a mode where you can have 5
subprojects of 200 tasks each). MinuteManPlus can handle up to 100
projects of 200 tasks each. Also, while both can track resources and
expenditures, MinutemanPlus can track them across all projects,
reporting on totals and identifying overlaps
3.) "I have a
laptop and a desktop computer - do I have to buy 2 copies of
MinuteMan?"
Short Answer - No.
Full Answer -
A license is permission for one person to use the program. If you're
going to alternately work on two machines, you only need one license.
HOWEVER - if you install it on multiple machines and multiple people
may be using the program, you need to buy multiple licenses.
4.) "Do I have to
make a new purchase when you upgrade the program?"
Your original
purchase entitles you to free lifetime upgrades. You should be able to
install the new copy over the old one and have it come up in
registered state. If it doesn't, send an email to
info@minuteman-systems.com and we'll send you new registration
information.
5.) "Is there
a networked version of MinuteMan?"
There is not a
networked version in the sense of having a central “server” program
and then separate client applications running on each of multiple
users’ PCs. However, you can approximate this using file-sharing. Put
the commonly used project files on a central file-server location in
your network. Users, each with a copy of MinuteMan on their PC, can
then access the project files and work on them. The program will
identify and warn if multiple people try to access the same file at
the same time. Also make sure your network administration
has periodic centralized backup procedures.
6.) Can MinuteMan accept or create Microsoft Project "MPX" or
"MPP" Files?
The program can read and write
Microsoft Project "MPX" files. The list of tasks, start/end/duration,
links between tasks, and resources are transferred by this method.

program on a new computer but I don't remember my registration
information. What do I do?"

info@minuteman-systems.com and we'll send you new registration
information
8.) "Do you
have a MAC version of the program?"

have used a ‘windows emulator ‘ to run MinuteMan on machines from
Apple. Click Here for more information.
