Season Pass Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve been getting quite a few questions about the Season Pass, 1 year subscription option that was announced a short time ago. 

A few of the most frequently asked questions about the Season Pass licensing alternative.

Question : I prefer to purchase the program. Do I still need a Season Pass  each year?

Answer: No. The Season Pass, when available, is an alternative for the traditional license purchase. It is an "either/or" situation – either a traditional license or a Season Pass, but not both.

Question: Are there any other benefits for the Season Pass, such as free updates?

Answer:  Since the Season Pass will always be a license to use the latest version of the software it makes it possible to budget for the cost of upgrades.

Question: What is the main benefit of the Season Pass 1 Year Subscription

Answer:  In the short term, the Season Pass offers football coaches an opportunity to benefit from the use of software at lower initial cost.

Question: Is the Season Pass available for more than one computer, and if so, how much does it cost?

Answer:  Yes.  There is no limit to the number of Season Passes that can be purchased. For two computers, there is no difference in cost. For three or more, a staff license Season Pass is available that offers some savings.

Question:  If I decide I want to purchase a license after one year, do I get credit for what I paid for a Season Pass?

Answer:  In some instances, a portion of the cost of the first year of a Season Pass license can be applied toward a license purchase .

Easy-Cut, Easy-Scout Professional on Vista

Its been nearly a year since we started working with Windows Vista, testing our applications for compatibility and making plans for changes that we knew would be required. Our goal was to attain Vista compatibility for all of our Easy-Scout, Easy-Cut and Easy-Recruiter applications without what we call “major surgery”. 

It was clear that this would would be harder to achieve for some, and that others, particularly our handheld (Palm and older Pocket PC) applications,  might not make the cut due to design decisions that were made by Microsoft.  As of this date, Palm users are still waiting, not just for us, but for any of their custom applications to work on Vista.  Click here for the latest Palm Install and Hotsync compatibility info  

The good news is that our Easy-Scout XP, Easy-Scout Professional, Easy-Recruiter and Easy-Cut “Windows” applications now all work on Windows Vista. 

 Additional instructions and configuration steps are currently required for Easy-Scout XP and Easy-Recruiter, but, when followed enable a Vista user to Install and run these applications successfully.  The instructions are included on our Trial Download pages for new and existing users and can also be found in our technical support center for existing users.
