Instructions for downloading
the free demo of Estimiser Pro. Download
link is at bottom of page.
Clicking on the link below will start
the download. The file is named epinstal.exe.
When you are asked by the dialog frame
what to do with the file, select "Save" and then, save it to your desktop.
The file is about 5.6 mb.in
size and downloads in about 30 minutes
with a 56k connection, but much quicker
with DSL or Cable. When the download is
complete just double click epinstal.exe
to install Estimiser Pro. Below you see
the installer icon to look for after downloading.
The installation takes just a half minute or
so. When it is complete, you will see the two
shortcuts below. Also, a page will open automatically
which you should print right away since it has
some basic information about getting started.
You can also open the Help Manual (see icon
below) and read about getting started estimating.
To begin working, click the shortcut on the
desktop labeled Estimiser Pro (on left). When
the program opens, go to the Main Menu and print
the Quick Start page. There is a link to it
at the bottom of the Main Menu.
When the program opens for the first time,
you must create two (2) of your own passwords.
Be sure to write them down in a safe place.Then,
enter the first or "master" password
you created in the login field and click the
Login button.Then, you will see a page describing
how to close the program. When you understand
that, click Contine and you will see the Main
Menu. Click the first button, Setup
and navigate to the first three sections: Shop
and Labor Rates and Tax Rates.
These are the three main areas where you must
enter specific information before beginning
estimating. Then, click the Help icon (shown
above) or, from the Scripts menu at the top
of the program window, click the Script Open
HELP. Either will open the complete online manual.
It is available from any window in the program.
Locate the sections about setting up tax
and labor rates. Read these to be sure
your setup is set the way you need it. Browse
to the section labeled Quick Start. There
you will learn the basics of the program. Note
that if you want to use the program in "easy"
mode for estimating only, you'll only need to
work in the Setup, Customers and Estimates sections
that you click to from the Main Menu. Also note
that the Main Menu serves as a central hub.
If you lose your way in the program, clicking
the button Main Menu will bring you back there.
Note: You may want to do most of your testing
with the two sample estimates (one is a supplement
for the other). Every time you start either
an estimate, supplement or invoice, you advance
the counter of free uses. Also note that it
does not help to delete documents; that does
not "roll back" the counter of free
uses! When the program opens, the first page
informs you of how many free uses remain. If
you exceed that number without first licensing
the program, it will stop displaying and printing
correct totals. When you license the program,
all of your work is completely restored. There
is no need to do a reinstallation when licensing.
