Beta Available

DownloadHi.

I just wanted to let everybody know, that everyone can now access the EAP-section of the forums, where the Smartlaunch 5 Beta can be downloaded. Though you still need to be logged in on the forums.

Here is a direct link:

http://forum.smartlaunch.net/Group42.aspx

You still need to have your Smartlaunch account activated for beta access before you can run the beta. We have managed to get most of you activated, but if you haven’t been, then write a comment on the forums.

Enjoy!

UPDATE:

Seems that the access-rights for the forum had been misconfigured. It should be fixed now.

But you need to be logged in on the forum, to be able to see the EAP forum sections.

Beta Information

Software BoxWe have now started seeding the beta.

Please have some patience if you have not been invited yet, I have a very long list of people who want to participate.

I will keep sending out invites every day until I get through the list.

You can still request a beta invite by sending me an e-mail with the following information:

Please also make sure to enter “SMARTLAUNCH 5 BETA” in the subject-field of your e-mail.

Send the e-mail to: thomas@smartlaunch.net

We will try to prepare a few screencasts for you as well, as to make sure that you get your installation running as smoothly as possible.

Smartlaunch 5 Beta postponed until Monday

Calendar UpHi. I just wanted to let everybody know, that we have postponed the beta until Monday.

I discovered a nasty little bug, that I wanted to get fixed before we send you the beta.

I am very sorry to disappoint anyone who was hoping to use the weekend for testing, but look at the bright side, this way we will be available to answer all your questions about the beta, immediately after you test it, instead of you having to wait until the weekend is over.

But you can already now start by installing the .NET 3.5 framework on your server, and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express, as they will be needed to run the beta:

Smartlaunch 5 Beta Update

Software BoxI’m happy to announce that we will send out an updated beta on Friday the 6th to all the users who have signed up for beta testing! If you haven’t signed up yet, you can still apply for beta testing.

All feedback and discussions about the beta will take place in the our dedicated forum in the SL5 EAP section. To grant you access we need you to send us your forum username. Please include that in your application for beta testing. 

Another thing which has been discussed lately is the pricing of Smartlauch 5.0. To make everything clear – Smartlaunch 5.0 will be FREE for all existing Smartlaunch 4.1 customers! No restrictions on purchase date to get the free update.

We will keep you informed on the progress!
