Q: Is there an online support group?

A: Yes. You can access the Computer Admin online support group through Yahoo! Groups. This is an open discussion group of questions and answers supplied by other users and CG Software. You can also post suggestions and tips in the forum. You can view the group and join here. You can join the group immediately by sending an email to
Computer Admin - subscribe@yahoogroups.com


Q: What is the difference between the Single User, 10 User version and Site License?

A: The Single User is virtually the same as the demo except there is no restriction on the number of records created and all annoying reminder screens removed. If you are looking to use Computer Admin Lite or Pro on a single computer as it was designed then this is the version you want.The Single User version is a standalone application and no other software is required.

The 10 User license, which requires a FileMaker Pro, will allow up to 10 users (with FileMaker Pro 5.5 or higher) simultaneous access to the Computer Admin Lite or Pro files..

The Site License allows an unlimited number of users to access the Computer Admin Lite or Pro files over a network utilitzing FileMaker Pro. The Site License also offers full access to modify all layouts, scripts and field definitions. To make modifications you will also need a registered copy of Filemaker Pro 5.5 or higher.

The Site License is the ONLY license that includes "full access" to the Computer Admin files.

Custom Licenses are available. Please contact us describing your specific needs.

If you have questions about using FileMaker Pro on a network you can read the Network FAQ here.

Q: Can I customize the layouts and add new fields?

A: If you purchase a site license of Computer Admin you will be supplied with the master password which, when used with a registered copy of Filemaker Pro 5 or higher, will allow you to access and modify all layouts, field definitions, scripts, etc.

NOTE: Once you alter the structure of Computer Admin you may not be able to easily integrate future updates.


Q: What is the difference between the demo versions and the registered versions?

A: The demo versions of our products are fully functional. They contain the same features at the registered versions of our products. The only difference is our demo versions are limited to only 25 records. Purchasing the registered version will remove this limitation.

A: All CG software products come with a full 30-day money back guarantee.
If you are not perfectly happy with the software you bought, you may get your money back in 30 days of purchase.
