Woohoooooo!!!!

I echo Bruceee's excitement

Good news Derry, although none of my suggestions for improvement appear to have been implemented.

Is the pdf user guide available yet?

Hi starhubs,

Our goal was to get SiteSpinner Pro out the door. Your suggestions, along with all feature requests, are important to us, and have not been overlooked.

The SiteSpinner Pro PDF manual will be posted this week.

Hi everybody, I'm new here and i'm a little confused. I purchased Web Engine on September 4th and don't understand what is happening. Are you saying that web engine is now SiteSpinner Pro? Do i uninstall the siteSpinner and the web engine and download SiteSpinner Pro? or do i just download SideSpinner Pro, but what do i do with the SiteSpinner and the Web Engine, and why do i need both, i just need 1 program to do a web site.
Please help.
Thank you
Betty

SiteSpinner Pro is the most recent upgrade to WebEngine, and due to some added features, has been given a new name. Since you recently purchased, you are entitled to a free upgrade. Just download SS-Pro and install it. It should detect your WebEngine registration automatically.

You can install all 3 products on your computer. Projects created with SS-Pro cannot currently be used with either SS or WE because the project file structure has changed, but SS-Pro can still read the older project files.

Being a newer user, you should download and install SS-Pro and use it as your main tool. That way you will not need to be concerned with any difference between the it and the older programs.

Thank you larryd.So, you say when i download SiteSpinner Pro i don't need the SS and WE any more. I'm new at this and don't want to learn more than one program to work with. When i first got WE i went right to the help pages and my head is still spinning from all the stuff i have to learn.LOL. Hopefully i can sort it out and make a Web Site.

Thanks again
Betty

I think i have a problem. i downloaded SiteSpinner Pro and it thanks me for purchasing SiteSpinner Pro and wants me to register,and when i click on the icon on my desktop my Serial# and Name are not the same as when i purchased WE, and i can't change it. What did i do wrong?

Betty

If you don't have it properly registered, SSPro will remind you each time you start it that it is a trial version, and will tell you how many trial days you have left.

If that is not happening, then you probably do have it registered. Derry will know more....

Hi Bruceee,no it doesn't say that. It's only the SSP registration,but doesn't have the same serial # like the WE. Do i just go ahead and put my name and e-mail in there and be done wiyh it?

Thanks
Betty

Ok-I think i got it now-I registered and now when i click on the icon only the SSP comes up nothing else.

Thank you all for your help.
Betty

I guess I will download this one.. had a PC upgrade, so might as well do the SS upgrade and buy again.
Always nice when I see you keeping on top of the product.
Worth supporting that.
After the install I will most likely be back for some dumb questions.

Derry

Will you be posting the user manual in the forum, or on the website or both?

Is there a page that describes the differences between SiteSpinner and SiteSpinner Pro? (I just loaded the trial version of SiteSpinner last week and am still learning it.) Now I see there's a pro version available and wondering if the learning curve is much more complex? So my 2nd question is for advice; should I continue learning SiteSpinner, then move up? Or just go ahead and purchase the pro vs.?

The main difference is that SS-Pro supports web development for mobile devices (i.e., small screens). It also provides tools for animation. If none of this interests you, then SiteSpinner should suit your needs. SS-Pro has the same basic features as SiteSpinner, so if you anticipate moving up, you might as well buy SS-Pro now, learn the basics, and move into the advanced topics when you are ready.

Hi starhubs.

The SiteSpinner Pro manual is now available on-line here.

Registered users can obtain the PDF version by contacting us.

Okay. Dumb question I'm sure, but are there any (major) differences between the on-line tutorials/manual and that included in SS-Pro final?

Thank you, Larry. I greatly appreciate your timely response and expertise. Just to let you know, I've opted to purchase the standard SiteSpinner rather than 'pro' for two reasons: 1. For me, it's just a hobby, no commericial gain anticipated. 2. Given my older computer, I thought it best not to tax it with possible hang ups due to additional algorithms in the pro version. Thanks again for your fine response.

Hi Kirk,

Nope, there is no difference between the SiteSpinner Help, the Online Help, and the PDF Help. They are just different formats.

However, there is a difference between them and the Tutorials.
