Instructions for downloading the
free demo of Repair Order Pro for Windows.
(Download link is at bottom of page)
Clicking on the link at the bottom of the page will start the download. The file name is roinstal.exe. When you are asked by the dialog frame what to do with the file, select Open. If you are not offered the option Open, save roinstal.exe to your desktop or somewhere you can easily find it. The file is about 7 MB in size and downloads in about 3 minutes or so with a broadband connection. For those with dial up we recommend requesting a disk since the download would take too long. Just double click roinstal.exe to install. Below you see the installer icon to look for after downloading.
The installation takes just a half minute or so. To begin working, click the shortcut on the desktop labeled Repair Order Pro.
When you first open the program, you will see a password window where you MUST set up two passwords of your own before continuing. Next, use the master password you create to log in. Next, after reviewing how to close the program (important), 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 invoicing. 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. The program opens to the Main Menu which serves as a central hub. If you lose your way in the program, clicking the button Main Menu will bring you back there.
Tip: If you don't have internet at your shop
but can download at another location, do the
following.
Download the file below and save it
to a USB drive.
Take the USB drive to your shop and
plug it into the computer there. Locate
the file, roinstal.exe and double
click it to install at your shop.
Note: It is best to do as much
practicing as possible with the sample
repair order. Every time you start a
new invoice, you advance the counter
of free uses. Also note that it does
not help to delete invoices; 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 getting in touch with us and licensing
the program, it stops doing math correctly!
When you license the program, all of
your work is completely restored. There
is no need to do a reinstallation when
licensing.
Technical help is free. E-mail or phone.
