I wonder if it has to do with whether your license was validated locally or remotely (as those were the two options I was given and I went for the remote validation, hoping that there would be a link created between my software and my account on their server for future updates).

Thanks. I have version 3370.

It was validated via direct connection so that wasn’t the issue. Anyway, I downloaded from Mindsystems the latest installer, which uninstalled the previous version and installed the new one (I don’t know whether this is the same procedure when upgrading from within the application, but was given no option). My license details were maintained.

I checked for updates from within Amode and got the same message as yours. So whatever the issue was, it is resolved. Thanks!

Correction: the license is universal, so it is valid for Mac, Linux and Windows.

Thanks. I was looking for something like this on Windows for my better half who needs a basic, easy-to-use project management solution (she has no project management training or familiarity with such software. I know, opposites attract :). But after playing with it for 5 min, I uninstalled it, thinking that Amode might be still be a better option.

Things that I didn’t like: it took a long time to create and open even the very first empty file, which made me wonder what would happen with hundreds of entries. When I accidentally clicked “done” for a task that was going to take place in the future, the Gantt didn’t refresh after I’ve undone the task. I think I needed to do some other operation (enter another task) before that “done” message from the Gantt went away. So that added to my impression of sluggishness.

I did like the fact that it did have a Gantt view and that everything was integrated into a single page. Was I too rash to uninstall it? I think I’ll ask my wife to give it a try.

Any long-term users of Pagico out there with more insight into its project management capabilities?
