Also, there is a provision of limited no. of Free Subscriptions per Campaign so that Campaign Owners can first test their Campaigns within their close group without paying any charges. Only Subscribers who have Installed the Desktop Alerts and are Actively using it will be included for the purpose of calculating usage charges. If any subscriber is deleted before end of billing month, only no of days for which it was active will be counted for calculating usage charges. Existing Campaign Owners can retain their Current Subscription model based on no. of Messages per month if they want. You can view charges at this link.http://www.alertsdesktop.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=67Desktop Alert Software v.4.5 for Linux is now available for deployment.

This will be a great time saver for frequent message senders as well as speed up the message sending.http://www.alertsdesktop.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=55I would like to suggest a Desktop alert administrator application which will be like the desktop alert application but it will be used for issuing the alerts rather than receiving them. I think it'll help many webmasters who just don't have the time to open web front and browse thru different pages to actually come to the page to send alerts. If it's not difficult, i would like this application to work for all the campaigns so that it becomes single point for sending alerts quickly to all the campaigns. Yes, we have developed Desktop Alert Administrator application which will allow campaign owners to send alerts and sms to all their campaigns right from their desktops. This application will require your API information in order to work. You can get API info from "Account API" page in "Account" section of the members area. You can download this administrator application here.http://www.alertsdesktop.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=53If an new update is available for the Desktop alert application, you can simply go to your members area and recompile your application (by clicking re customize application and submitting the request). After your application is recompiled (as indicated by availability of download link on Current Campaigns page and Email confirmation too), all current users of the previous version will automatically get the Update Notification accepting which application will automatically update itself. Of course, New users can download and install the new version. On rare occasions as indicated by the announcement, some versions may require full uninstall and reinstall of the application.http://www.alertsdesktop.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=52If after installation, during or after activation, application crashes, it usually means that it isn't installed properly. You can try these steps 1. Try Uninstalling and then try Re-Install. 2. Re-Download installer from the website and try Re-Install. 3. Ask your Campaign Owner for new installer. Campaign Owner then again re-order the installer and get new installer.http://www.alertsdesktop.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=51Today Desktop Alerts version 4.2 has been released.
