Wasn't this for admin types only?

Quick question out of my own stupidity... are you installing under XP?

No - it's available to all members.

Sweeet

I have been considering membership and this will swing it

No - it's available to all members.

And are all independent shops allowed to join the club? They would save thousands per year if they don't have to pay for WIS. Sounds too good to be true but I'm sure this will be confirmed once the service is up and running.

Are international members welcome, most would pay at least a few hundred per year for a member fee?

Yes! On Vista i think it's impossible...

Yes! On Vista i think it's impossible...

If the discs are fresh enough, Vista would be OK. I've tried it on a desktop running Vista (just to see what happens, I don't use that computer).

Download MS Virtual PC freeand create an XP virtual machine inside Vista. Work perfectly

 

[c200Kompressor]

Ok! Thanks to you all! But can help me?

Do disks have a use by date?

There are numerous posts about this on the 'net. Sometimes you have configure the computer to simulate its part of a LAN before the programme will install/run . Why don't you ask/Email your EPC "source" for install instructions?

Definitely in the sense that the info soon becomes outdated. The disks as such don't have any expiry date but the licence usually has.

You know, Watson, I had'nt thought of that

its £15 a year to use the online EPC that has the latest up to date info - same as what dealers use...... sounds best to me!

avoid the CDs - they are out of date or will be soon.

if you want it free, use the russian site.

i personally pay £15 for the proper online EPC.

i am also a member of MBOC and they give free EPC access aswell to members (i already was a member though)...... the WIS is also available but only to register captains over there...

So... the only way for mortals to access WIS is off the disks....?

On-line EPC is still lagging behind the dealers. I have access to the on-line EPC but on numerous occasions I have visited my dealer with a part number that subsequently proves to be superseded (and no, its not "operator error", confirmed by the dealer)
