Why do I need ScheduleWriter if I can write
schedules by hand?
To save time. Keeping your
employee data on file will let you create schedules by dragging and dropping
rather than writing and erasing. It will also help you reduce under and over
shifting and reduce your labor costs in the process.

Can I install ScheduleWriter on more than one computer?
Yes. The standard
ScheduleWriter CD package comes with a 2-PC license which allows you to activate and
legally use ScheduleWriter on 2 computers. If
you need to use ScheduleWriter on more than 2 PCs, you can either
deactivate your primary or secondary computer first before activating the
new computer, or you can add another PC to your license.
