Though this software could be quite helpful in tracking costs, the reviewer did not mention the many, many problems Plotminder has with licensing. I have installed this software three times in the last three months, each time having to go to CAD fx and request a new authorization number. The reason for so many re-installations? The instructions sent with the booklet are vauge at best on how to deploy in a network environment, and when trying to get help from the tech support staff, they refer to installation choices with are not even available! I have had a very patient and helpful support experience at times, but I've spent way too much time trying to fix problems that should never have been occuring in the first place. I often think it would be eaiser and more time efficient to just keep a simple excel spreadsheet of everyone's plotting activity. Overall, this software sounds like a good idea, but it doesn't function as it should and has been a disappointment so far.
