Sudoku.xls – system requirements.
·
A PC with Windows
installed on a fixed hard drive. Sudoku.xls works with Windows Vista, XP, 2000 and 98
SE. It may work with other versions, I just haven’t tried it. Any feedback would
be appreciated (email address at the bottom of this page).
·
Microsoft Excel
must be installed and Macros enabled. Sudoku.xls was developed using Microsoft
Excel 2003, however I have also tested it on Microsoft
Excel 2002 / XP. I cannot guarantee that it will run on earlier versions.
However, if the unregistered version works then the registered version should
also. Again, any feedback would be appreciated.
·
Minimum Screen
Resolution of 1024x768 is required to be able to see the complete screens in
email mode, without scrolling.
·
Direct email
interface works with Outlook 2003 & Outlook 2002. It may also work with
other email clients, but I haven’t tried it. Again, any feedback would be
appreciated.

There is no charge for the
un-registered version of Sudoku.xls. However, if you find it useful, and would
like to make a donation (however small) to cover the cost of a cup of coffee,
while I continue to develop and improve the product, it would be greatly
appreciated. You can make a voluntary donation, by Credit Card or Paypal by clicking on the
coffee cup below.
You are free to distribute
the unregistered version of Sudoku.xls at no charge and without any alterations

stg.
US$9.99 or €7.49 per licence.
A
licence is valid for installation on a single PC only with a fixed hard drive. Changing
the hard drive of the PC on which sudoku.xls is installed will require the
purchase of a new licence.
Registering
also activates the buttons in the Creator worksheet. This allows you to
generated puzzles at a desired level.
A
single copy of Sudoku.xls can be registered on several PC’s with the
appropriate payment. However, as Sudoku.xls is single user it will only be
possible for it to be accessed from 1 PC at a time. However, if duplicate
copies are made (ie. the file Sudoku.xls is copied to
another location on the network drive) each copy can be run on any machine.

the purchase.
Payment

card.
PLEASE
ENSURE THAT PRESSING THE
BUTTON GENERATES A REGISTRATION CODE BEFORE
MAKING ANY PAYMENT. THIS IS IMPORTANT AS Sudoku.xls REGISTRATION MACRO USES
ADVANCED FUNCTIONS TO GENERATE THE KEY AND MAY NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH SOME
OLDER VERSIONS OF WINDOWS OR YOUR PARTICULAR VERSION OF EXCEL.
To
obtain your 12 character “Unlock Key” you need to do the following:
1. Obtain the Registration Code by clicking the button on the Sudoku sheet. The Registration Code must be quoted EXACTLY as displayed in the box. To avoid any errors I recommend that you use Windows Copy & Paste. (typing <ctrl>C when the Registration Code is highlighted will copy it to the Windows Clipboard).
2. To make a payment by cheque/postal order (sterling only), click on the green button below and follow the instructions.
3. To make a Payment by Credit/Debit card or PayPal, Select the currency you wish to use (Pounds Sterling, US Dollars or Euros) by clicking the appropriate button, below. Then, follow the instructions on the Payment Screen.
On receipt of your payment I will email you a message
containing your Registration Code and your 12 character Unlock Key. I will
respond as quickly as possible, normally within a few hours hours. However you should
allow up to 5 days. Once again click the
button. Click ok on the “Registration Code”
box. Enter the Unlock Key into the “Input Unlock Key” box and click ok.
Sudoku.xls now saves itself and the advanced SU DO KU option can
now be used. I recommend that you make a backup copy of Sudoku.xls.
Thank you for using Sudoku.xls and Happy Puzzle
Solving.
