(PQ Systems: Dayton, OH) -- An option for concurrent-use licensing ushers in a new approach to the use of CHARTrunner from PQ Systems Inc., in its latest release. This “floating license” allows installation on multiple computers, with use limited only by the license itself.

CHARTrunner, developed by statisticians at PQ Systems, creators of the best-selling SQCpack, reads data that resides in Access, Excel, SQL Server, Oracle, and virtually all other data sources, and instantly creates statistical process control (SPC) charts, making data immediately available for analysis and to support Six Sigma and standards conformity efforts.

The new license agreement will specify the number of concurrent users at a given site (e.g., 5, 10, etc.). The software can be installed on a nearly unlimited number of computers, and use will be restricted only to the number specified by the license agreement. Among other features of the just-released upgrade are instant messaging for immediate access to technical support, and quick and easy changing of working folders, including improved drop-down lists of recent folders. Context-sensitive help is enhanced by clear green question mark buttons that take the user to existing help or advisor topics.
