**While we support TotalFBO®
on Vista Business Edition, unless you have a specific reason for installing
Vista, the ease of administration with XP Pro makes it our recommendation for
most users.
These items are general recommendations.
Faster hardware with more memory will always provide better performance. Specific
network configurations may require different minimums.

What support do I get?
90 days of unlimited 24-hour technical support and program updates are
included FREE with your purchase. You may choose one of 3 flat-rate CustomerCare™
plans on an annual basis. See Support Options.

Can I buy only what I need?
Yes, Purchase the full program, specific packages, or just buy individual
modules.

Is TotalFBO® just for FBOs?
No! Since TotalFBO® is so broadly based, almost any type of aviation
business can make sue of its features. Included are features for flight
schools, repair stations, airport managers, engine/accessory overhaulers,
charter operators, as well as FBOs. The program is modular so that one
doesn't get overburdened with items that are not needed for a particular
operation.

Many customers install and begin functioning with minimal assistance from
technical Support. Others prefer to attend one of the week-long Training
Courses offered regularly in Broken Arrow, OK (recommended). And, when
many employees must be trained, our Certified Trainer can come to you!
Customers on a service plan receive discounts on training. See
Training Options.

How do we convert from other software?
Many accounting systems can export basic data
such as customers, vendors, and inventory in a text format which can be
imported by TotalFBO®. Custom conversion assistance is
available upon request.

If you're currently covered by our CustomerCare™
plan, all updates are free. Contact Tech Support for updated licensing and

information on upgrading.
You can convert your data from Version
1 to Version 2 and from Version 2 to Version 3 and from Version 3 to Version 5. Contact Tech Support for
assistance with this process.
