2.22. Does EstiMate "Phone Home?"
Does EstiMate connect to the internet without me knowing?
Yes. Each time you launch EstiMate it connects to our website to check if there is an updated version of the software available for download. It transmits no personally identifiable information (no information at all, actually) to the website, and only downloads a single text file (an example is attached to this article).
If you are not connected to the internet, this fails silently. If you are, and an update is found, you will see a message offering you the opportunity to download the update if you choose to.
I really the like the customer & vendor dashboards - the ability to attach any file to the customer data base in Estimate is great! Categorizing items is also a big help. We have a lot of items we use the retail items plug-in to price & it is nice to be able categorize them now. I am sure there are more features that we will use after we convert to 2011. I have used Estimate since 2003 from Version 1 to Version 2 & now 2011. Every version has come out with more great features.
