[pianotech] Download PTBiz as freeware

[Allan]

Unfortunately, it does not install on my system (Windows xp) I got a message
that it could not find a .mdb file. Can someone provide a .mdb file ?

 

Thank you for your interest.

The version of PTBiz I'm using is now freeware. (Although I paid $150.00 for
it -- go figure. Thanks, Ed Winslow. <sarcasm>)

 

This version doesn't use any install codes or a HASP. It will work on
Windows XP or earlier Windows operating systems.

If you are a current user of PTBiz, there were some specific instructions on
how to install the new version so you don't delete your data.  If I recall
correctly, what you do is basically this:

*	Save your current piano.mdb file. (Save in a different location,
like a thumb drive or CD. Don't save in the PTBiz folder, as it will be
deleted in the next step.)
*	Uninstall the current PTBiz program
*	Reinstall the new PTBiz program, and start the program at least once
(not sure if starting the program is required -- it may be that you were not
supposed to start it.)
*	Exit the PTBiz program.
*	Copy your old piano.mdb file into the new PTBIz folder, overwriting
the one created in the new install.
*	Next time you open PTBiz, the program now uses your existing data

 

Proceed at your own risk. It's been 2-3 years since I've done the new
install procedure, and I've lost the instructions that came with it.

 

If you want a basic database program that also does accounting and
scheduling, PTBiz is good for that. I've used it for 8-10 years, and it has
served my needs well.
