I think the RRP for V4 boxed is £39.99, My History are therefore selling below RRP, Calico sell the Download version slightly cheaper than RRP, but more than the My History price which obviously is My History's option to sell at what ever price they like.

I would recommend un-installing the trial. One of the reasons the Family-historian site suggests not installing the trail on a V3 system is due to the key issue, when you get to the key prompt pressing No should take you to the trial version. I would recommend contacting Calico's support desk if you...

All versions of FH can be installed on two computers as long as only one is in use at any given time.

The problem was purely in the installer rather than the program so if you have to program installed then there is no need to re-install.

** Stop Press ** V3->V4 Upgrade has been corrected and is now available from http://www.family-historian.co.uk/products/ There is an issue with the V3-V4 download upgrade released over the weekend. It has been temporarily withdrawn and Calico are working on it now. I will post here as soon as a solu...

You can still pay for a full version of V4. In your forum post I have posted a link to the V3.1 Trial for you.

The download email should be straight away. Please check any spam folders etc. If you still don't have it in a couple of hours, please email support at family-historian.co.uk

Please bare with them as it is Sunday.

Yes all versions allow install on 2 computers as long as only one is in use at any given time

The new version of Family Historian has been released for download from Calico Pie.  This is a major release and as such is a paid for upgrade.  There is an upgrade version available for V3 users, new users and V2 users will need to purchase the full version. If you are interested to see a few very ...

V4 is in manufacturing, which means the CDs are being made and the boxes printed, so baring some disaster, the boxes should be shipping from the end of April.

Margaret - the fonts for the property box are selectable.

V4 will be a paid for upgrade for V3. You will be able to either order a CD upgrade from My History or other providers or purchase a downloadable version from Family-historian.co.uk

Simon Orde on the FHU List: I do apologise for the delay. There is no single reason for this. Version 4 is a big release and there are numerous late-stage tasks to be done before we can release it, and we underestimated how long these would take. As I'm sure you appreciate, we have every motivation ...

There have been no more announcements at the moment, if I had to guess then I would expect late March.

[cry] Simon Posted this on the 2nd Feb 'We previously estimated that version 4 of Family Historian would be ready in February. We have had to revise our estimates and now expect it to be ready in March. We apologise for the delay.' In addition he also mentioned one of the expert features. The new Fa...

A couple of new features have been added to the wish list. 1. Search by Reference number is now possible. 2. You can now select from the 'Where' option to find any items you have rated, so for example you can review any items you rated 0 as not interested. 3. I have also changed the look slightly an...

Just a reminder if you are intending to go shopping at Amazon, please follow the links from this site, as it does not cost you any more and Amazon pay a commission for any sales made via our links.

Colin, remember you don't need to buy the upgrade to V4, unless you want to or need specific functions from the new version. My guess the upgrade will be around the £25 mark, but it's not been announced yet. With regard to sites, I would suggest posting a question to the forums, rather than here on ...

I am very pleased to say that we have today announced details of version 4 of Family Historian, which is due for release in February 2009.  Also, we are doing a Christmas offer whereby anyone who buys a boxed copy of versi...

How does the machine know which is the right information if you don't tell it?

I knew it had gone, I had changed the links and download to a local copy and I have now updated the link in the article.
