What are the Operating System and Hardware requirements?
Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista or later. Minimum hardware: 256M RAM, 500Mhz, Pentium 3, 10MBytes Free disk space.

Do your offer a Money back Guarantee?
Yes, we offer a 30-day unconditional money back guarantee.
 
Can I install my one Surfulater license on my home and work PC?
Yes. As of version 3.0, you can install Surfulater on up to five simultaneous computers for the same user, for example your home computer, work computer and laptop. However, you may not install it for different users on different computers. Additionally, multiple installations using the same license will soon synchronize between each other, so sharing a license between people is, well, a really bad idea.
 
What is your upgrade policy?
All updates to the current version number are free, while major upgrades are provided at a 50% discount for existing users. For example, if you bought 2.0, every 2.x update will be free for you. Additionally, 3.0 will be available at 50% off. Finally, anyone who bought a version within 90 calendar days of the release of another major version will receive a free upgrade. For example, if you bought 2.0 on January 20th, and 3.0 is released on February 28th, you will receive 3.0 for free.
 
Can I restart my free trial period?
Yes of course. We want to give you every opportunity to fully evaluate Surfulater. Simply UnInstall Surfulater and delete the My Documents\My Surfulater folder. Next use Start|Run|Regedit, and go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Soft As It Gets\Surfulater
and delete this key. Then install the latest Surfulater release and your free trial will start over.
 
Can Surfulater save complete web pages?
Yes it can. Better still it can save selected text and images from pages which saves considerable disk space and is often more useful. Note also that Surfulater compresses Web pages and removes duplicate information to minimize use of disk space.
 
Can I use Surfulater as a Personal Information Manager (PIM) ?
Yes; It does much more than just save web content. Surfulater comes with a variety of templates including Contacts, Music Catalogue, To Do List etc. And you can even create your own article templates. Add in easy content editing, clipboard capture, good information management capabilities and fast full text search and PIM tasks are a breeze.
 
Can I create and open multiple knowledge bases?
Yes, as many as you want. Note that this capability is only available when you purchase Surfulater, and is not in the Free Trial.
 
How do I move my knowledge base(s) between multiple computers?
Your knowledge bases are easily transported between multiple computers. The short form is, copy the three knowledge base files from one computer to the other. For detailed descriptions, open the Help from within Surfulater, and read the topics "Working with files" and "Backing up my knowledge base".
 
Why can't I see Surfulater on the Internet Explorer Context Menu?

First ensure all copies of IE are closed or restarted after installing Surfulater.

IE6 has a limit to the number of items it will display on its right click context menu. Some applications add too many items to this menu, which prevents Surfulater's menu items from appearing. You can check this by using Start|Run|Regedit and going to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt If there are more than around 17 items listed you will most likely have a problem. Either UnInstall programs you no longer need, or try Deleting some registry entries from the context menu. You need to restart IE to see the result of any changes.

Note that Firefox does not have this problem.
