charges will be posted to the subscription frame, upper right corner of App
Manager along with your Automatic Renewal Date. Upon installation and
selection of anything other than Trial or Free the Renew Date will be set to
one month after installation and BookTrakker activation date. All Apps must be installed and you
must open BookTrakker for the Renew Date to be set. If you initiate subscription payments before the 30 days run out your Renewal Date will advance by one month. Everyone gets 30 days free. If you are going to subscribe and the Renew Date is 2000 then do not initiate payment until this has been corrected. Running BookTrakker will usually fix this problem, if it doesn't then please contact us at support@booktrakker.com We do not issue credits for incorrect subscription payments. We may adjust the Renew Date forward. |

Very Important: If you need Amazon data or uploads be sure to read and do #'s 20, 21 and 22 after installation of BookTrakker/GrabIt is complete. Amazon
FBA or Merchant fulfilled sellers: Step 20 includes a link to
instructions for importing your data from Amazon. Please finish all
instructions on this page before importing your data. If you plan install on more than one computer then use the same account for the additional computers. DO NOT create a new account for each computer. (If you create a new account for each additional computer you will be charged the full price for the additional computers, vs. the lower cost for the same account.) If you have more than one Amazon account then you will need a separate BookTrakker account for each Amazon account. Install on the first computer and run BookTrakker before installing on additional computers for the same account. That way the additional computers will get the discounts rate for additional installations. Bookseller Subscription rates can be found at Subscription Be sure to read and/or print or bookmark these instructions. If BookTrakker does not run because of Error 339 then follow these directions to fix the problem. Repeated in Step 14. There may
be issues connected with download/installation of BookTrakker and its
applications. To date we have been able to overcome them, see instructions
below, especially Step 10, 20 and 23. |
