issue with Trial version on Vista

insider — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 15:59:48 GMT

i'm trying to test your software between 2 desktop pc's c urrently, but am having an issue with Vista.

when i start the software it asks me to register the trial which is fine, but when i create a list and try to sync it it asks me to register again and deletes the list that was just created..? My XP installation is fine..

Can you help?

can you also let me know if there are any plans to be able to link your software directly with Access? It seems there's a real gap in the market for a product that enables wireless syncing of data to a desktop database..

Many Thanks.

Michael

Is this an active product

leebase — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 08:16:40 GMT

I just ask because the posts on the forum here are very old. I'm considering purchasing this product....like it a lot (despite a couple glitches)....but do not want to spend money if it's not an ongoing concern.

Hierarchical Tasks

dje — Fri, 07 Jul 2006 08:00:26 GMT

Hello,

List Manager looks like what I am looking for, with one notable exceptions. From the screen shots it does not look like it supports hierarchial tasks. This is extremely important to me. My question is, does List Manager support hierarchial tasks, and if not, do you have plans to do so? Thank you.

Printing/columns cutting off?

absharp — Wed, 21 Jun 2006 06:47:06 GMT

It seems that when I print my task list, the width of the columns on paper are what I see on screen. If I have a "Notes" field, I'm limited to how wide I can make the column, and in turn, I'm limited to one line.

Would it be possible to do the following:
1) Set the length of the field as a property, regardless of how wide you can make the column on screen?
2) Have the option to line-wrap columns either on screen or when printing (or both)?

Thanks!

Copying task lists?

absharp — Wed, 21 Jun 2006 06:36:58 GMT

I'm wondering if there is a way to duplicate an entire task list of items.

For example - on a shopping list, I may always want to have bread, milk and cookies; another example would be when a task list gets really long (including completed and outstanding tasks), I would like to copy that and leave the old list as an "archive" of completed tasks, and then I could just pare down the new list to my current outstanding items.

I know in the later case I can hide completed items, but these lists can get awfully long!

Is this feature available now, or will it be down the road?

So.... close

HeavyEddie — Sat, 06 May 2006 12:21:04 GMT

I use my current list manager pretty extensively and would probably sacrifice some of it's features for the ability to sync some of my lists up with others. I have a few questions...

Will I need to purchase a license for each desktop application running the application? Not everyone has a wireless PDA.

When will the ability to nest lists be available? I'm afraid this is a must before I purchase.

I'm very excited about your product and it's capabilities. Good work!!!

When will Exporting lists be possible?

insider — Tue, 06 Jun 2006 04:57:32 GMT

Hi there,

I can see that this would definitely become an invaluable tool for me and some of my colleagues. But can you give me any guidance on if and when you might include the option of exporting the data to Excel?

Thanks very much,

Is InfoShare integrated with builtin tasks?

seaflipper — Wed, 10 May 2006 12:27:03 GMT

I use Exchange Active Sync and simply find the builtin tasks to be pretty weak. However, I need to be able to sync with my Exchange Active Sync server so my changes are upon the corporate network.

Does InfoShare use it's own database or is using the builtin tasks database?

Looks like a great program and I am very interested in using this.

Thanks

My Carrier does not display in the list of available carriers

Mark — Sat, 21 Jan 2006 17:12:33 GMT

If your carrier (i.e., Mobile Operator) does not show up in the list of available carriers on the device registration screen, YOU CAN STILL RUN LIST MANAGER WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. The carrier list is only for sending Device Notifications from a desktop to a mobile device. Device Notifications are optional and do not affect your ability to use or synchronize List Manager.

If your carrier does not show up in the list, please send us an email to support@unwiredsoftware.com so that we can update our list with your carrier. To do this, we need to know the email suffix that is used by your mobile operator to send an sms message to a device using email. For example, Cingular in the US uses <phone number>@mobile.mycingular.com).

Device PIN

Mark — Wed, 25 Jan 2006 12:24:19 GMT

The PIN (or Personal Information Number) that is requested during device registration can be anything you choose. The PIN you enter here will be requested each time you log into the desktop side of List Manager. List Manager uses this PIN to ensure that only you can gain access to your lists.

Device Support

Mark — Fri, 13 Jan 2006 12:24:29 GMT

Unwired Software applications support ALL Windows Mobile based devices running Windows Mobile 2003 or later (e.g., 2003, 2003se, 5.0).

List Manager Requirements:

Windows Mobile Based Smartphone, Pocket PC, or Pocket PC Phone
Internet connectivity (e.g., GPRS, CDMA, Wi-Fi, desktop proxy via Activesync, etc)

Do I need to open up any ports? No!

Mark — Fri, 13 Jan 2006 12:16:56 GMT

List Manager (and the entire InfoShare Suite of products) DOES NOT require that any additional ports be opened up.

We are very security conscience and have purposely designed our products to not require any special security accommodations. Our desktop and device applications communicate to each other via standard HTTP over standard (open) ports. This all works because it is your desktops and devices that are initiating the communication; similar to the way one accesses a web page through a browser.

Support for Windows Mobile 5.0

Mark — Fri, 13 Jan 2006 11:49:15 GMT

List Manager DOES fully support Windows Mobile 5.0.

We have had a number of inquiries as to whether or not we support Windows Mobile 5, and the answer is, "Yes!" We support Windows Mobile 2003 and later. This is true of all applications released by Unwired Software.

When is SMS used; always? or just when notifying?

William Lee — Sat, 31 Dec 2005 02:34:22 GMT

My scenario: Two people, two desktops, two phones; one grocery list.

Being a T-Mobile user, I get charged 10 cents for each SMS Message (I know you can sign up for T-Mobile packages that give you messages as cheaply as <.01 cent per message up to x-hundred messages per month). But I'm trying to avoid even another $6 a month to buy x-hundred messages, it's not quite worth it to me when initially all I want to sync is a grocery list (I can imagine that sooner then later my imagination will find many other useful things for Unwired, but that makes my question possibly even more important to me). I'm hoping to avoid the use of SMS. Here's my three specific questions:

Is SMS only used when a desktop notifies the phone?

If I disable notification at all desktops, does that stop all SMS traffic?

Does sync use SMS in any way?

In all other ways I have unlimited data on my phones, so rather then be SMS notified of changes, it's no big deal to manually sync when I need to work on a list. I hope the answer to my questions all point to SMS being narrowly used only when desktops notify phones.

Thanks!

Where can I buy List Manager?

MobileGuy — Tue, 06 Dec 2005 11:04:15 GMT

I've been playing with the trial version and I'm hooked. Where can I buy List Manager?

Is my data stored on Unwired's servers?

Enrique — Sun, 13 Nov 2005 12:05:14 GMT

I'm curious as to where my list data is stored and whether or not it is secure?

Licensing - How many do I need?

MobileJunkie — Sat, 12 Nov 2005 15:38:54 GMT

Hi,

I have another quick question... Do I need to buy a copy of List Manager for each desktop that I wish to install it on? In other words, if I want to synchronize my lists on my work computer, my home computer and my Smartphone, does that require 3 licenses?

Trial License

MobileJunkie — Sat, 12 Nov 2005 15:31:31 GMT

I'm evaluating List Manager and I'd like to know what the restrictions are for the trial edition.

Thx
