| Q: |
What type of computer do I need to run the CanDB software?

CanDB is written in Java and can run on any computer which
supports the Java Runtime Environment. Code has been tested on
Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11, Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)
and Mac OS X 10.13 (High Sierra), Centos Linux 7 and 8, RHEL Linux 7.5 and 8.6

| Q: |
What about tablets such as iPad, Surface, Galaxy, etc?
|
| A: |
If the device supports Java then very possible. However, CanDB generates
numerous HTML files, and these can be viewed by any web browser on essentially
any device. While CanDB may not run on all devices, you may easily use the
generated HTML and images on all.

| Q: |
What version of Java do I need installed on my computer?
|
| A: |
You must have Java version 1.8.x or later. Java 1.8 was released December, 2008
so very likely your computer already has an acceptable Java version installed.
Please see the download instructions for CanDB differences between Windows, MacOS
and Linux computers.

| Q: |
What is the cost of the CanDB software?
|
| A: |
While I am not releasing CanDB as public domain software, there is no cost for
beer can collectors to use this software. There is no licensing, no
registration required. This software is being made freely available to hopefully
help others put together more PICTORIAL composites!

| Q: |
What about new features or bug fixes?
|
| A: |
I wrote and use CanDB myself, so if you encounter any bugs or have ideas for
new features, lets talk! Version 2.0 included collector feedback, and now already up to Version 5.0. Also, if you would like to be informed of new
versions please provide register your product with Tools -> Register.
