I would like to find out if there is really any catch to this freeware. Is there any time bar for this software because I would not want to setup and after 30 days, it stop working.

Furthermore, if I want to increase the room no. to 80 rooms without the additional features, how much do I have to pay?

Alternatively, 80 rooms with all the frontdesk features, how much is it?

Thank you.

I really liked it very much, but suddenly, after maybe 15 days it stopped working. I can not start it any more. I tried uninstalling, fresh download, re instalation. Nothing worked. I went to your page and found answer, tried to download that patch but the page does not exist.So, I gave up.
Still, I think that ASI is a great little program that has all the options that small hotel may need.

Kind regards

Here is my best recollection of the bad experience I had with ASI Front Desk freeware. As I mentioned in an earlier note today sent via the comment box in your e-mail, I have not been able to find the letter I sent to ASI at the time I had difficulty, probably because it was sent via the ASI website and I didn't receive a copy.

In August I downloaded the program thinking that the manager of the pansiyon I stay at in Turkey might like to see it. The program comes in two parts, one to configure the management software by entering certain data and the other to to do the actual reservation / check in / check out work. In order to be sure that I understood the system and could explain it, I put in some fictitious and facetious information to play with.

In October when I was in Turkey and ready to let the manager experiment with the program, I started to do a test run privately first to refresh my recollection of how it worked so that I could explain it. . However, I found that I could not get rid of the ridiculous material I had put in and allow the manager to put in realistic information to test the system with, so I uninstalled the program and downloaded it again. And then my trouble began.

Whenever I ran the install program, I got a message to the effect that the installation failed or could not proceed because there was no SQL Server. So I used Google and struggled to learn what one was, then went to the Microsoft website(s) to download the program. There I was told that first I needed to download and install three (perhaps only two) other programs first.

With the SQL Server and its supporting programs finally installed, I tried to install the Front Desk program again, but now I repeatedly got a message to the effect that the installation could not continue because there already was an SLQ Server on my computer and I would have to remove it first. What? Here my memory begins to blur. I might have begun to uninstall it and its companion pieces. I'm not sure. Somehow I learned that the Anand program probably had its own scaled down SQL Server built into it and I guessed that it was in conflict with the complete and newer server I had downloaded and installed.

By now I had probably spent three frustrating hours one afternoon and four or more the next day trying to make this little free ware jewel work as it had originally in August, and I couldn't even get the thing installed. So I decided that I didn't want the pansiyon manager to have to suffer through the mess I had been through (especially since there was no happy ending), and I told him I was withdrawing my recommendation for that reason.

It just occurred to me that since you have my IP address and wrote to it, Anand (That means "bliss" in Hindi or Sanskrit) may well have it too and may have a tracking program that prohibits more than one operational download of the same program. Or maybe the second download was hijacked by Kali or some vengeance demon from the Hindu pantheon.

Thank you for your interest.

Sincerely,

Accept a very good user interface nothing works fine. Installations didnt go well too. But the most scary part of the s/w was that the 2 diffrent reports dont match the TOTALS. That was crazy so i had to give it up finally.

The reply in the Forum was not easy to understand, nor did it solve my problem.

Well, but you cant complain much as the Free stuff occasionaly has a price to pay in terms of efforts]]>

I could not figure out how to apply housekeeping groups to work for rooms needing cleaning.

Also, after 1.5 weeks it jammed up my computer and your program stopped functioning. It was suppose to be a free program, not a trial version.

So now I am without. I don't think I will spend the money for a small motel on a program that locks up and is not user friendly for changes. A couple of Spreadsheets get the job done without any hassel.

I did like the layout of your program. But you need to allow override when entering guests room rates and days of stay, to allow discounts, or special arrangements on spur of the moment. To have to go back into setup is too time consuming for the customer to wait, and then the changes sometimes take 24 hours before it will take effect]]>
