Sapro Systems derives its income
from the portion of people who pay a small fee for
a Paymee license. Certain features and customization
options are disabled unless you pay for a license.
See the features
page for more info.
Unlike AIA Billing software by others - no need
to pay for paper document forms!
7) If I register Paymee, do I need to download the
registered version?
No, there is no-re-installing
required, you simply enter in a code that instantly
transforms Paymee to the registered version. The
code is emailed to you usually within 1 minute of
placing the order.
8)
Do I need to know Excel to use Paymee.
No, Excel experience
is not needed to use Paymee. There are also no formulas
to write. Paymee is wizard & dialog driven to
help make it easy to use.
9)
Does someone need Excel to VIEW a Payment Application
created with Paymee ?
Excel with Paymee
installed is required to open a Paymee project
file. You can also export a Paymee project as an
Excel Spreadsheet (licensed version only). In this
case a user does not need Paymee installed to view
the exported project, just Excel.
10)
Why was Paymee developed as an Excel based application?
Paymee utilizes many
of Excels built in features to provide a simple
but robust user interface and advanced capabilities.
Because of this we are able to 'piggy-back' on Excel's
powerful features and deliver a high quality product
that is free to use and reasonably priced for the
license product. We believe that since our software
runs in Microsoft Office, this offer tremendous
advantages over AIA Billing software by others.

Can I e-mail Payment Applications created with
Paymee?
Yes. Paymee files
are Excel files (i.e. myproject.xls). You
can e-mail them as any other Excel file. The recipient
will need Paymee installed to view the file. With
the registered version of Paymee, a Paymee file
can be exported as a unlocked Excel file. In this
case you can edit & e-mail the exported file
just as any Excel file. The recipient does not
need Paymee installed to view the exported file.
There is even a feature to Export as Locked
Excel File... which exports Paymee projects
with all fields locked, except fields for Owner/Architect
approval & comments (registered version only).
