Your AyaNova consists of two aspects:

1. The AyaNova programs which you use to connect to your AyaNova database to view and edit data (i.e. desktop AyaNova, remote access options RI, WBI, MBI).
2. Your AyaNova database (could be stand-alone configuration for single computer access or could be networked for multiple device access)

How many scheduleable resources can be scheduled and what optional add-ons may be used are determined by what licenses are set within your AyaNova database.

Your database holds the licensing, along with your data.

• When trialing before purchase, your installed AyaNova database automatically begins a 45 day trial which includes licensing for Up to 5 scheduleable resources plus all optional add-ons so you can fully trial everything.
• Once you have purchased, you are emailed instructions to apply to your database a License Key. Applying your Key unlocks your database for the number of scheduleable resource subscription licenses and which optional add-on subscription licenses you have purchased.

How to determine which level of scheduleable resources licenses to purchase:

• What level of scheduleable resources licenses you would purchase is the same as your number of technicians/enginners/whoever/whatever that you need to schedule and track in your AyaNova.
• In AyaNova we call the service person (technician/engineer/etc) a “scheduleable resource” because companies use AyaNova for many purposes beyond tracking service people. Some companies use AyaNova to schedule buses, rooms etc but for most service companies a “schedulable resource” is a service person working for your company.
• This means you do not need to purchase licenses for staff that simply run AyaNova and view and enter data within it, you only need to purchase licenses for the number of service people you are tracking within it.
• If one of your schedulable employees leave, you can "free up" their license by unchecking the Active field for their user account, which will free up their license to be used for a new schedulable resource, but still maintain a complete history of service provided by that original schedulable user/resource.
• For companies that employ sub-contractors, you could determine a time period that jobs are scheduled for. Then determine the maximum number of contractors employed in this time - and that would be the number of licenses to purchase. For example, if you book no farther than two months ahead: determine what the maximum total number of different techs you had scheduled over that time period and that will be the number of schedulable resource licenses to purchase.

What is provided when licenses are purchased:

• Your license(s) once purchased are sent to you in an Activation Key email message which you apply as per its instructions
• The applied licenses are maintained in your database along with your data for as long as you use AyaNova
• Support and updates within the same major release vesion are included with your subscription license price for the first 12 months from date of purchase. Then renew at only 35% of the original subscription price every 12 months after, to continue to receive updates and support for the next 12 months and so on!
• Up to you if you wish to renew! If you decide not to, your AyaNova database licenses will continue to be valid and you can continue to use AyaNova as it is installed at the date of your subscription expiry - you just can not update, nor receive support.

Let us help you confirm which licenses you need - contact us that you would like recommendations on what to purchase - provide in your message how many technicians/engineers, what tasks you need to accomplish, and flow of your day to day service!

Your optional add-on license entitles your company to install and use and receive support for the latest version of that optional add-on during the year of your subscription.

Don't forget - to be able to successfully run, your optional add-ons installation NEED to be the same version as your main AyaNova program installation.

Renewals/cancelations:

Prior to the expiration of one year, our payment processing provider, will email you a notification reminder that your optional add-on subscription will be automatically renewed. The notification will include a link if you need to log in to make changes to your payment method or to your registered email address or if you would like to cancel your subscription.

If you do not renew an optional add-on you will no longer be eligible to receive support nor install new updates for that optional add-on.

It is normally expected that if a company renews their AyaNova subscription but cancels an optional add-on subscription, that they no longer are using and have uninstalled that optional add-on. A company "could" keep using a previously subscribed but now expired optional add-on IF their AyaNova itself continues at the exact same older version as that of the expired optional add-on program. We recommend installing the latest version to get the benefit of bug fixes and new and expanded features and the support that comes with the latest version.

Licensing is based on the number of "resources" you want to schedule - i.e. an actual person (i.e. a technician), a truck, a group of people (i.e. a department), or a bus - whatever/whoever you want to schedule and track in AyaNova.

Your AyaNova database does not require licenses for those that enter and view data only (are not scheduled) nor does your AyaNova database require licensing based on the number of networked computers that access your database.

• Tom provides maintenance for apartments in a building
• He wants to schedule himself, set up automatic preventive maintenance, remind himself via notifications when events occur, and keep a history of service he has provided to each apartment.
• Tom has one laptop computer that he takes with himself whether at home (where his office is) as well to the apartments when performing service.
• Tom would purchase the first level - "Single AyaNova scheduleable resource subscription license"..

• Bob repairs computers
• Fran (Bob's wife) answers the phone and takes requests for support calls and sets Bob's schedule
• They have two computers networked together, one for Bob and one for Fran and need software that will allow both of them to enter data, and view live data at the same time. Only Bob is scheduled in workorders
• Only the first level - "Single AyaNova scheduleable resource subscription license" would need to be purchased, as only Bob needs to be scheduled. This is regardless of the fact that there will be two users logging in at the same time, viewing data and entering data
• Then ten months after purchasing and utilizing AyaNova, business has increased and have now hired two additional technicians. As this means that there is now a total of 3 (three) scheduleable people that need to be scheduled so Bob now purchases the second level - "Up to 5 (five) scheduleable resources subscription license"..
• Bob purchases the second level, applies the received replacement Activation Key, and can now set up to 5 active scheduleable user accounts!

• Mighty Medical Equipment sells and services medical equipment
• Sales needs to be able to view existing data on service for clients
• Dispatching needs to be able to enter and view data to schedule the technicians
• Management wants to be able to view data and obtain reports
• Shipping and receiving wants to be able to enter purchase orders for parts requested on workorders, receive into inventory and automatically alert the scheduled user
• 15 technicians need to be able to check their schedule, be notified of upcoming events, enter details of service provided and more while on the road and when in the office
• Mighty Medical Equipment would purchase the "Up to 20 (twenty) AyaNova scheduleable resources subscription license" so that Mighty Medical Equipment can schedule their 15 technicians, plus have 5 free for new technicians or whoever needs scheduling. Sales, dispatching, management, shipping and receiving people will be running the program as they do not require a license as only those users/resources that are scheduled in workorders require a license
• And one "RI (responsive interface) subscription license" would be purchased so that the techs out of the office can fully view their schedules; create new service workorders and edit existing in full detail including labor, parts, misc expenses, unit information; create new clients; obtain reports and more

Licensing for AyaNova is not based on the number of people that will be running the program, nor is it based on the number of computers on a network that all connect to the same AyaNova database. Licensing is based on the number of "resources" you want to schedule - whether those resources be an actual person or a truck or a group of people

Congratulations on your business growth! We would be pleased to provide you with a coupon code to discount the new level moving to that replaces your original level!

Before purchasing contact us with:

Discounts can not be applied after purchase. Be sure to contact us to obtain your discount before your purchase.

Once the new subscription is purchased with the discount coupon we provide to you, we will cancel your original subscription for you.

Our license agreement permits only one database file per unique activation key. What this means is that you are not permitted to apply your key to more than one AyaNova database.

If you have more than one AyaNova database (i.e. each division of your company wants to have a separate AyaNova database), purchase subscription license(s) for each database separately using a unique company name.

Example : Your company SNOW Inc. has two offices - one located in Canada, one located in the US.

• Complete the first order of subscriptions for the first database with a unique company name such as: "SNOW Inc. - U.S."
• The Activation Key will be emailed with a registration name of "SNOW Inc. - U.S." - apply to the database for the US division.
• Complete the first order of subscriptions for the first database with a unique company name such as: "SNOW Inc. - Canada."
• The Activation Key will be emailed with a registration name of "SNOW Inc. - Canada" - apply to the database for the Canadian division.

We highly recommend upgrading to the latest AyaNova.

For those that prefer to continue with an older version of AyaNova, you can certainly purchase additional older licenses and continue to use as is without further email support, updates or upgrades.

Contact us from your registered email address, provide the following, and we will send the specific URLs so that you can purchase:

For additional licenses for AyaNova version 3.x, 4.x, 5.x or 6.x:

• Log into your AyaNova desktop program
• Select menu File -> About AyaNova
• Copy all text and paste into an email message to us
• Identify how many additional licenses you wish to purchase.

 

For additional licenses for your AyaNova CE 1.9:

• Log into your AyaNova CE as the manager
• Select menu File -> Database Utilities
• Double-right-click on the screen which will bring up the Key Registration window
• Copy the Registered Name and the Key and paste into your email message to us
• Select menu Help -> About this program
• Copy all text and paste into an email message to us
• Identify how many additional licenses you wish to purchase.

No. Once your payment is processed, the email address you provided in your order will be sent via email an Activation Key.

This Activation Key will include instructions how to fetch and apply the included keycode that will activate the AyaNova database that you have already installed and tried out for the resources subscription license you have purchased

You do not have to install any new software nor make any new configurations

The Activation Key will have an Install By date which will be one month from date of purchase - for example, if you purchased October 5th, the Install By date will be midnight November 4th (November 4 12:00AM). The key must be applied before this date. A request for re-issue of a keycode may require an Administration Fee of US$35.00 to cover re-processing fees.

Note that once a keycode is applied, your licenses are now maintained in your database along with your data.

In a network configuration, all computers access the same licensed database, so there is no need to re-apply the keycode other than initially to license the database. Refer to the AyaNova Help section on network configuration.

In the event of a need to re-install, you would restore the database from backup which would restore your data as well as the license. Please refer to the AyaNova online Help documentation on backup and restoration; or contact us if any questions.

Your AyaNova license key email message will be emailed from our standard correspondance email address support@ayanova.com, to the registered email address you provided in your order once payment has been successfully processed and received.

Check your Spam/Junk folder as well as make sure that your email server and email security program(s) allows all email from support@ayanova.com.

You will receive an email notification from our payment processing provider, when your payment has been successfully processed.

The email notification will say your Activation Key email may take 48 hours to receive. This time frame to receive your key may only occur if your purchase is processed after business hours, on a weekend or during a holiday or observance. License key emails are sent out during regular support hours Monday through Friday 9AM to 5PM PST excluding holidays and observances, and are usually sent out within the hour or less of payment being processed.

If you made a payment via credit card, it is possible there may be a delay in processing due to fraud prevention measures, particularly if any of the information entered doesn't match with the credit card such as address etc.

We might already have the feature in AyaNova; or can provide you with a quote to develop a custom plug-in if possible; or your suggestion may already be on our Wish List as a possible future feature.

New feature requests - We are always interested in hearing suggestions for new features and how you would use. AyaNova has grown over the years due to suggestions from you! Suggestions to date can also be found on the Wish List on our AyaNova Support Forum.

Develop your own options - If you are a developer yourself, do check out the API/Development section of the AyaNova Support Forum; as well as the AyaScript developers plugin.

If your support subscription is current, there are no additional charges to upgrade within the same major release version (i.e. any 7.x.x version). New major releases will require a new (discounted from regular price) subscription (i.e. 7.x to 8.x):

1. Check your Help -> License for the expiry date of your subscription(s).
2. If your expiry date for subscriptions has not expired, just follow the upgrade steps for your configuration in the AyaNova Help documentation.

If your company does not have a current active support subscription, you will need to purchase subscription(s) and then can perform the upgrade:

1. Check your Help -> License for the expiry date of your subscription(s).
2. If you do not have a subscription or if your subscription has expired, purchase a subscription that is equal to the number of scheduleable resources your database is presently licensed for, and subscriptions for any options you presently use and will use.
3. Review the upgrade steps for your configuration in the AyaNova Help documentation (i.e. if configured for SQL Express use, you would follow the upgrade steps with the title "Updating if networked SQL Express AyaNova"), confirming requirements and steps.
4. When payment has been processed and your Activation Key has been received via email, proceed with the upgrade steps for your configuration of AyaNova.
