* Optional extra
AuctionMan is a PC-based software system for the management of all types of multiple-item auction sales which is just as happy on a desktop as it is on a notebook or a network!
It runs on 16- and 32-bit PCs under Windows 10, Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2000, Me, 98 and 95 (N.B. 64-bit versions of Windows require XP MODE (or equivalent) support - we do NOT support 64-bit Windows). A printer is required for report (i.e. catalogue, selling sheet, invoice, etc.) printing; e.g. laser, ink-jet.
AuctionMan is suitable for both multi- (network) and single-user (stand-alone) application on Windows-compatible networks.
Each PC will need 8MB of free disk space into which to install AuctionMan and 4MB of memory (RAM) to run it.
A demonstration of AuctionMan can be arranged on request. You will need a compatible computer with an active Internet connection. We will download and install a trial version of AuctionMan on your computer and conduct a live demonstration by remote control.
After the demonstration we will leave the trial software installed on your computer for a limited time to enable you to further test it at your convenience.
Contact us to arrange your software demonstration.
