Q: How do I upgrade my version of PCP?
A: Registered users can click on "Help" > "Check for Program Upgrades" from the main program menu. (You must have an active internet connection when checking for program upgrades.) If an updated version of the program is available you will be prompted to automatically download and install it. The program will then upgrade itself and automatically restart. You can also go to the download page and check for program updates.

Q: Do I have to pay for program upgrades?
A: NO, all program upgrades are free for registered users.

Q: What are the shareware restrictions on PCP?
A: You may evaluate the program for 30 days. (Starts with your first use) After that you must either purchase the program or remove it from your computer.

Q: How do I purchase and register the program?
A: Click HERE to go to the PCP order page. The link at the bottom of that page will take you to the secure on-line order form. You will be given a license file link IMMEDIATELY after you make your purchase. Copy this license file to the program folder to register the software.

Q: What type of encryption does PCP use?
A: 256bit TwoFish encryption developed by Counterpane Systems. There are NO KNOWN weaknesses to this encryption algorithm.

Q: How safe are the encrypted password lists that PCP creates?
A: Extremely safe! There are NO known weaknesses in the TwoFish algorithm. Complete TwoFish documentation can be found at the Counterpane Systems web site.

Q: Who needs PCP?
A: Anyone who needs a good, random, password every once in a while. Everyone from the average home user to the most advanced network administrators can benefit from a secure password generator like PCP.

Q: Why do I need PCP when there are "free" programs that do the same thing?
A: While there are a few free password generator programs on the market there are NONE that even come close to the power, features, and flexibility that PCP gives you. Most of these other programs are either way over priced for their features or free and have very few features at all. As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for, and if you pay nothing... well that's what you get.

Q: How do I get help using PCP?
A: You can press the "F1" key on your keyboard at any time while using the program to get help. The PCP help file will load automatically and display help with the feature your currently using.

Q: Where can I send feedback about the program?
A: All program feedback, good or bad, can be sent to: support@hexacom.cc

Q: Is a retail "boxed" version of PCP available?
A: No, not at this time. Retail "boxed" versions of software can be very expensive to produce and distribute. By offering all software on-line in a digital format the end cost to you can be kept very low.

Q: What if I forget the password to an encrypted password list?
A: There is no known way to decrypt a password protected file without the encryption key. If you forget the password you are basically out of luck until you remember it. DO NOT send password protected files to the author. They will be ignored as there is nothing we can do about it. Thanks!
