3- Does DecoTech™ do
landscape designs?
Officially, DecoTech™ is a 3D interior space design software that
have been programmed to design one room at a time. However, as you have probably
seen it in the Gallery
section, you can do a lot more than one room at a time. The DecoTech™ software
is so flexible that many of our customers have done things with it that it was not
supposed to do at first (ex.: tree, pool, car). More you use it, more practice you
have and more things you are able to do.

4- If I purchase the
DecoTech™ Designer version, can I upgrade later to the DecoTech™ PRO version?
No. You will have to purchase the DecoTech™ Professional
version and install it over your DecoTech™ Designer version (the two versions are
one way compatible). However, in certain circumstances, we can offer a discount. To
know if you are eligible to a discount, communicate with us with your Serial Number.

5- Can I purchase the Cabinet
Editor program and/or the Cabinet Itemizer program separately?
No. Those two programs come only within the all-in-one
DecoTech™ Professional package.

6- Do I absolutely need to connect my printer to my parallel port hardlock?
No. Remember
that there is no interaction between your electronic key and
your printer. So if you have a parallel printer, you do not
need to have absolutely a parallel electronic key. And in the
same way if you have a USB printer, you do not need to have
absolutely a USB electronic key. Your printer can even be
connected to another computer and accessed via your local area network
(LAN), but your electronic key must be connected locally to the
computer running DecoTech.
