	FAQ84	How can we specify special prices for a group of customers?
		Subject: * How can we specify special prices for a group of customers?   Solution: SOSET allows you to set up customer groups and each customer can be a member of such a group. This makes it very easy to set similar specifications, discounts etc. for all the members of that customer group. It also makes it possible to have special prices for a group of customers. This is done by selecting a customer-group in the product with the special pricing. During order-entry SOSET will first search for the product+the customer-group ID and take that product, if available. Otherwise SOSET will take the product, with an empty customer group ID. This means that you can have a same product ID, several times in the product table, as long as they all have different customer-group ID's. Therefore it is advised to duplicate a product and specify the customer-group. You can specify the prices of each product in the default currency and also 4 different currency's. You will understand that this way also enables you to better query your order and product tables on product ID AND customergroup ID.
	FAQ85	I would like to run some tests with the new SOSET software. Can I have an extra software protection
		Subject: I would like to run some tests with the new SOSET software. Can I have an extra software protection key that I could use for testing?   Solution: A SOSET software protection key represents and controls a SOSET-license. We do not have an option to provide a key for testing purposes. However, if you have a multi-user SOSET license there is no need to have an extra key for testing. You can perform a local installation where you specify the shared licensepath. E.g. if your current programpath is f:\apps\soset and the datapath is: f:\data\soset and the licensepath is f:\data\license you can now install local with programpath C:\apps\soset and the datapath: C:\data\soset and with the shared licensepath is f:\data\license. You also can run a SOSET remote typeset without any key. This version offers all typeset functions for testing.
		Can SOSET typeset run without software protection hardware key ?
		Solution: Yes, Soset typeset software can work without a key, BUT in that case it will behave as a remote typeset version, which does not support normal printing, page-wizard etc.If you start Soset typeset software without a hardware key you will get a message:Soset cannot find a valid license and/or hardware key. Soset can now only run in remote mode with limited capabilities. Please contact your host or Namosoft.Feel free to copy and distribute this license free Soset typeset remote version.Keep however in mind, that a remote version cannot be used for production; the output is gray and cannot be re-covered.A Soset Typeset Plus* version offers an option to create a special interface for importing stamps from a Soset typeset remote version.

	FAQ89	Do we need to purchase statement forms (printed forms with blank area to place our monthly customer
		Subject: Do we need to purchase statement forms (printed forms with blank area to place our monthly customer activity for each month) which are set up to match Soset's standard output or can we format the activity to print on our existing statements?   Solution: SOSET actually only covers order-entry and typesetting and no accounting. Normally customer- and accounting-data are exported into an accounting package.However, you can register all payments in SOSET order entry via menu: Tasks, Invoice register, Pay-off and next you can print the Overdue statement from the same menu.The layout of this statement is fixed.In general you can use pre printed paper with a header and a footer for all SOSET invoices, shipping notes, statements. SOSET will print necessary info on the form. You can use tractor-feed paper for this to print on a matrix-printer. Make sure that header and footer are similar to the sample I faxed to you; so without frames and texts printed in the middle!You can also define header and footer files, which are (laser-)printed at pre-defined positions on a letter-sheet form by SOSET

		Subject: While in Order Entry, under Customer, is there a way to change the "Customer ID": after the customer has been updated? And if not, how can we delete a customer?   Solution: You will find part of your answer via the following link to our FAQ-page: How to delete customers in Soset OrderEntry to delete customers in SOSET OrderEntry In general: changing a customerID is NOT done; the consequences are very often very difficult to predict!

However: in NamoUtil you can open the customer-table and use the Table, Delete records option. (But please be careful, wrong handling has immediate and irreversible effects!)

	How do we setup a SOSET remote user	FAQ36       README50
		Subject: How do we setup a SOSET remote user   Solution: Setting up a remote user. Create a remote.sos file. You do this in SOSET namosys> utilities> generate remote license file. Although the min. and max. remote No. are not in use right now, it is required that these fields are filled in (8 digits). The telephone number is required also for good checksumreasons. SOSET Namosys will automatically copy SOSET data, needed for the remote user in a \data\soset\remote directory. Copy the remote.sos and all of the above files to a USB-stick or send to the remote user. On the remote location you can now run setup to install the SOSET typeset (choose the "Remote Typeset" version). Write down the license path you will find during setup (accept the default value for remote). After setup you need to copy the remote.sos file (from the USB-stick) to the license path. Further you need to overwrite the data in the SOSETdata directory on the remote side with the data tables (from the USB-stick). Now both you and the remote user have the same technical information in the database (e.g. product, color etc.). Keep in mind that a remote version can't be used for production. The output is gray and cannot be recovered. Note: Per January 1, 2002 order-clicks need to be purchased and loaded into theNamoKey program to enable download from remote orders and typesetting.

You will find Euro-options in the order-entry preferences, the customer and order dialog. But also output has been modified to support Euro-signs and printing of both currencies on cash-receipts and invoices. Convert from your current EMU-currency to EuroWith a special option in the NamoUtil utility all tables in the SOSET database can be converted.This module has to be ordered with the special euromodule-orderform. At the moment you want to convert from your current EMU-currency to Euro you can use this option.ALL currency-related fields in ALL tables will be converted: this means that all data in the order files, but also history and other overviews will be in Euro.For the customer-settings with the default currency specified Euro-cash receipts and invoices in Euro will be printed.Until the definit date of introduction of the Euro (Jan 1, 2002) settings for special currency (e.g. Customer of Germany company wants invoice in Spanish Peseta's) will be respected. Another conversion is needed at that moment to convert all these also automatically.This conversion is quite dramatic and can NOT be reversed. Therefore this can only be done under supervision and with the co-operation of NamoSoft support.You will also find information in the EURO-section in the readme file.
	Typeset crashes when changing logofile	Preview dialog
		Subject: Currently we are using Typeset Ver.4.14, and are starting to use Windows 98 on our stations. We are getting a problem exclusive to the Windows 98 Systems, where a double click to open a file, or importing artwork in typeset will close out typeset without any warning. Even if the stamp is open, it will just close the App. without asking to update the stamp.  It only seems to happen with Soset Typeset. Should we download the current version of Soset? Will it fix this problem?   Solution: The error occurs when you try to change an existing logofile in a stamp. This is a know error caused by the "Preview dialog" used to select a logofile. This dialog comes from a third party vendor and so far they haven't come up with a satisfying bugfix. In SOSET Typeset there is a workaround for problem by replacing the "Preview open file dialog" with a regular "Windows open file dialog". Please refer to these instructions to enable this workaround.
