Frequently asked questions on RCT upgrades (pricing below FAQ).
What does "internet only support" mean for the discounted internet upgrades below?
If you typically need phone support for downloading and installing software, then we recommend purchasing one of the upgrades below with phone support. Upgrades can be shipped on CD or memory card, or downloaded from our website. Activation must be handled on our internet web form in all cases, but if you purchase the upgarde with phone support, then we can step you through any issues over the phone, including most internet issues.
Whatever option you choose, please note there are limits to what we can help you with either by phone or online. For instance we can't help much at all (other than offering sympathy) if you have trouble with your internet computer, connection or browser, ISP, ActiveSync connection, memory card reader etc...
If you order the discounted internet upgrade but then need phone support before your unit is installed and activated, please have your credit card ready when you call to pay difference between the discount and regular pricing ($50 minimum + s/h if applicable).
Once you have the new software activated our usual unlimited toll free phone support resumes.
Can I get the internet discount by ordering on the phone?
Why do I need to purchase a one-time-use activation if I purchased Pocket RCT more than one year ago?
When you request an activation there are almost always support questions that arise about the software and the new hardware. This takes our support staff's time. We can't work for free, we have bills to pay also.
We don't charge a yearly license fee as some software companies do. The one-time-use activation fee is small and helps cover our support, maintenance and upgrades on the software.
For those without a Windows Mobile 5/6 license upgrade, if you upgrade your license to include Windows Mobile 5/6 then one activation is included for free, and future activation charges are reduced by 50%, see items "P1" through "P4" below.
Are there any multiple discounts available for upgrades?
What if I don't get linked to the right page after purchasing the upgrade online?
What if you release another new version soon after I purchase an upgrade?
My new computer doesn't have a place to attach or plug in my current SentinelKey, can I still purchase an upgrade online?
IMPORTANT SENTINELKEY NOTE: Your SentinelKey MUST PHYSICALLY fit into a slot or attach DIRECTLY to your machine. If not, you will need to trade SentinelKeys before the RCT can be activated. Trading SentinelKeys is free with a shipped upgrade, or nominal cost when traded separately. Note: Upgrade to the latest version and/or license is required if trading any type of SentinelKey.
Does it matter which browser I use for downloading?
