When you have downloaded the software, you can install it by following these steps:

  1. Download the mainboss_demo.exe file, and save the file to any location on your own computer.
  2. Run the mainboss_demo.exe program on your computer, and follow the instructions that will appear. (To run the program, click the Start button on your main Windows desktop, then click the Run menu item. When Windows asks what program you want to run, click the Browse button and locate the mainboss_demo.exe file.)

Note: This version of MainBoss is intended for evaluation purposes only. You can test almost all the features of the program, but it imposes a limit on the number of work orders, work requests, and purchase orders you can create.

Note also that this software can be changed into a full working version by entering a valid license key obtained from MainBoss headquarters. This makes it fast and easy to move from demonstration mode to full operating mode—you don't have to download new software, you just have to register. You also don't have to re-enter new data; if you enter data during demonstration mode, that data will remain available once you upgrade to full operating mode.

If your system will not let you download .exe files: Some security systems do not let users download files whose names end in .exe. If you have this problem, download the software here as a ZIP file.

International Support: The installation procedure for the evaluation copy is written in English. However, the program will operate in Spanish, French, and several other languages—just set the Regional Settings in your Windows control panel to your preferred language, and MainBoss will automatically interact with you in that language.
