1. Is this calculator free or is
there a cost?
The calculator requires a license fee.
2. How much is a license?
$375 USD (a fraction of the cost of other alternatives.)
3. How is the license administered?
Through a license file. (A dongle is no longer required.)
6. What are the system requirements?
Win 98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista/Win7/Win8/Win8.1. Both 32 bit and 64 bit systems are supported.
7. What is in the resource files?
Lots of numbers. Beyond that, that information we consider to be proprietary.
8. Why does it take the program so long to load?
On some slower systems, there may be a noticeable delay while the program loads.
It is initializing a large amount of data. On the other hand, once initialized,
it is faster (we think) than any other program. Lightning fast!
9. How accurate is the calculator?
Much more accurate than our earlier one. But accuracy is hard (for any
calculator manufacturer) to determine because it is hard to get real results to
compare against. We have compared the calculator to other alternatives and the
results compare very well. We believe the calculator is much more accurate than
current fabrication technologies can manufacture to!
10. Will UltraCAD continue to support the earlier
calculator (ultraclc)?
The earlier version has been phased out. UCCALC is much more accurate.
11. Why don't you take credit cards?
The calculators are a small part of our business, and the rest of our business
does not require credit card acceptance. And we have used Paypal now for several
years with no problems. Paypal is a great alternative for smaller companies like
ours, especially for international sales.
12. Why don't you accept purchase orders?
There is a cost to your company and to ours for processing all that paperwork.
It should be much easier for you to pay for the calculator individually and then
get reimbursed from your company. If it is not, then we don't want to work with
your accounting department either! Purchase orders are very difficult to
administer internationally.
13. Will you accept purchase orders for volume
licenses?
Yes, if they are from stable, domestic companies. Call for information.
14. Would you be open to international representation
by an international distributor?
Yes. Contact us with a proposal.
15. Where can I find complete specifications?
In the Operator's Manual. (This
is a large pdf file which opens in a new window. You might want to right-click
and download it to your computer.)
16. Where do the files go?
Beginning with Version 3.5, all files may be placed in a folder selected by the
user. C:\uccalc\
is a good choice. The license file must be placed in ANY of these directories.
The root directory of your system drive (typically c:\ ) or
A \uccalc\ subfolder under the root directory of
your system drive (typically c:\uccalc\), or
The same folder as the program file
(Holders of a Universal License should place all files in the
same folder as all the other universal files.)
