What is a Presentation License?
After reviewing your Real-Time TCO/ROI SnapShot, you will probably want to understand the detailed assumptions behind your results or share the information with your colleagues. To do this, CIOview provides you with a Presentation License for the TCOnow! or ROInow! software used to develop your analysis. The Presentation License enables you to view the hundreds of data points, statistics, and heuristics behind your Real-Time SnapShot analysis. You can also print out individual topic pages.

Why would I need a Professional License of TCOnow! or ROInow!?
A Presentation License is essentially a "read-only" license. So, if you would like to change any of your assumptions, perform "what-if" analyses, automatically generate a detailed (50+-page) business case, or produce multiple TCO or ROI assessments, then you need a Professional License. You can upgrade from a Presentation License to a full Professional License either directly from your Presentation License or by visiting the CIOview online store.

All that is required to begin a Real-Time IT Value analysis is access to the Web and a valid email account. Your custom SnapShot will be emailed to you in PDF format. If you need the free Acrobat Reader, you can download it here.

If you would like to dig deeper, you can open the project file used to create your Real-Time analysis. You must download CIOview's desktop software to do so. It runs on almost any desktop or laptop, but the following configuration is recommended:

Minimal System: Intel Pentium 3, 1 GHz 256 MB memory 250 MB free disk space* Internet connection

Optimal System: Intel Pentium 4, 1,8 GHz 512 MB memory 500 MB free disk space* Internet connection

OS/Software requirements: Microsoft Windows 2000 or Windows XP SP1 Internet Explorer v 6+
