Getting Started
 

What is ViewletACE?

ViewletACE is a desktop software application that allows you to create graphical Flash-based quizzes and surveys in just a few minutes. It is extremely easy to use and allows anyone, regardless of his or her technical aptitude, to become a skilled user in just a few hours.

Who should use ViewletACE ?

ViewletACE can be used by anyone, in any industry, to test the knowledge of a target audience or gather user opinions or other important information.  Its extensive quizzing capabilities with detailed reporting features make it a perfect tool for instructors, teachers and trainers. For businesses, the tool is ideal for performing market research such as product concept testing, assessing the value of a product feature or measuring customer satisfaction. 

Is ViewletACE an add-on product we must pay for or is it included as an upgrade?

ViewletACE 2006 is a new product that is separate from ViewletBuilder4. The suggested retail price is $499 per license with a promotional launch price of $399. Discounts apply for volume purchases. For example, the list price for a 5-pack license is $1,699. Further discounts are offered depending on the volume.

ViewletBuilder already has quizzing capabilities. Why do I need ViewletACE?

ViewletBuilder is a dedicated screen capture tool and supports limited quizzing functions.  ViewletACE on the other hand is a dedicated quiz and survey authoring tool. It supports over 10 different question types (and this number will grow), has advanced scoring capabilities, and provides you with the ability to execute many different types of actions depending on viewer input. For example, a certain sound can be played if the viewer answers a question incorrectly or a movie played if the viewer completes the survey or quiz. ViewletACE’s architecture and toolsets are optimized for creating quizzes and surveys.

There are many other quizzing tools out there. Why should I choose ViewletACE?

As is the case with other Qarbon products, ViewletACE has been designed to give you the highest quality at the most reasonable price. It is very easy to use, yet very powerful. Unlike many competing products, complex functions can be executed with just one click. Power, quality, and ease of use together with its affordable price makes ViewletACE 2006 your best possible choice.

What are the minimum system requirements to run ViewletACE?

This varies depending on your operating system.  You can find more information on our technical specifications page

Is there a trial version? If so, does the trial version provide the same features as the purchased version?

Yes. You can download the trial version here.

The trial version does have the full feature set. However, Viewlets created using trial versions will contain watermarks (see example).

I have ACE Viewlets with watermarks. How can I remove them?

Your Viewlets have watermarks because they were created with a trial version of ViewletACE. To remove them, you must purchase ViewletACE and “activate your license” (a license activation code is provided to you upon purchase). Using the licensed software, you will then be able to “convert” the Viewlets to remove the watermarks. One important thing to remember is that you can only convert watermarked Viewlets if they were created on the same computer the licensed version is installed.

Does ViewletACE require any additional plug-ins?

No, once you install ViewletACE, you have everything you need to run the software. However, there may be some programs (which are not considered plug-ins) that you need installed on your system in order to run ViewletACE. Visit our technical specifications page for more information on system requirements for your particular operating system.
