1. Will Marziplanner work on my computer?
You will need a PC to start. Sorry but Marziplanner will not work on Macintosh computers just yet (watch this space!)
- Screen resolution is best at 1024 x 768
- 150MB of hard drive memory
- RAM: 256MB minimum, 512 MB recommended.
- operating system :Windows 2000 or above, or Windows XP

It is not essential but advisable to have Microsoft Word and Outlook, and it is desirable to have Adobe and Flash Player installed on your PC too. (Flash Player will come with the installer so you don't need to worry about installing it yourself.)

2. What if i don't have broadband internet access?
In order to download off the internet it is best to have broadband. If you only have access to a dial-up internet connection we suggest you order the CD Rom which we will send you by Express Post, with your activation key so that you don't have to wait hours for it to download.

3. How does the download work?
You can either download Marziplanner in Free Trial Mode, or you can purchase and activate your copy straight away. You fill in your details on the website and we will send you an email with the download link. When you click on the link this will download an installer file. You double click this file which will automatically launch the installer and you simply follow the prompts. When finished, a Marziplanner icon will appear on your desktop. Double click this whenever you want to use the program.

4. Can i use Marziplanner on more than 1 computer?
Yes however your activation code is linked to your personal wedding details, so it will only work for your particular wedding. If you want to have Marziplanner on more than one computer we can help you with copying your database over from where you have first saved it. However this means you will have to update both computers at the same time. We suggest just using one computer for your planning. If you need help simply email us with this request and we will forward you the instructions. support@marziplanner.com.au .

5. If I have already downloaded Marziplanner in free trial mode and I then purchase the activation code and serial number, do I need to download it again and reinstall?
No. The program you are using in "Free trial" mode is the FULL version of Marziplanner. You simply need to open Marziplanner as you normally would (double clicking on pink "M") and click through to the registration screen. There you can input your serial number and your activation code, which if successful, will unlock the program from trial mode, allowing you to use it indefinitely for your wedding.

6. I have been using Marziplanner on my old computer and now I have a new computer. How can I use Marziplanner on my new computer?
To "move" Marziplanner from your old computer to your new computer do the following. Note the FAQ number 4 above regarding using Marziplanner on more than one computer. Also, be aware that any information you have entered on your new computer will be lost when you perform the following steps.
