3- Does DecoTech™ do landscape designs?
Officially, DecoTech™ is a 3D interior space design software that have been programmed to design one room at a time.  However, as you have probably seen it in the Gallery section, you can do a lot more than one room at a time.  The DecoTech™ software is so flexible that many of our customers have done things with it that it was not supposed to do at first (ex.: tree, pool, car).  More you use it, more practice you have and more things you are able to do.

4- If I purchase the DecoTech™ Designer version, can I upgrade later to the DecoTech™ PRO version?
No.  You will have to purchase the DecoTech™ Professional version and install it over your DecoTech™ Designer version (the two versions are one way compatible).  However, in certain circumstances, we can offer a discount.  To know if you are eligible to a discount, communicate with us with your Serial Number.

5- Can I purchase the Cabinet Editor program and/or the Cabinet Itemizer program separately?
No.  Those two programs come only within the all-in-one DecoTech™ Professional package.

6- Do I absolutely need to connect my printer to my parallel port hardlock?
No. 
Remember that there is no interaction between your electronic key and your printer.  So if you have a parallel printer, you do not need to have absolutely a parallel electronic key.  And in the same way if you have a USB printer, you do not need to have absolutely a USB electronic key.  Your printer can even be connected to another computer and accessed via your local area network (LAN), but your electronic key must be connected locally to the computer running DecoTech.
