Accurate Printer Monitor
supplies four cut down versions called
Accurate Printer Monitor
Enterprise and Corporate. These versions omit some of the advanced features found in the corporate edition and is ideal for users who either want a low cost solution or are not interested in more advanced features.
This page lists the principal features of
Accurate Printer Monitor
and identifies those features that are not available in each version.
Accurate Printer Monitor
Enterprise sells for 30% of the cost of the Corporate version. Users can upgrade to the Corporate version at any time, simply by paying the difference in price between the versions. The actual software is identical, since the software activation key is used to configure all editions. A code can be sent by email that allows the user to upgrade the software.
