Can I customise the Live Help chat window images and styles to match my web site?
Yes, you can change the images, logos, text etc. within the Live Help settings and language pack files. The only restriction on customising is that you shouldn't remove the copyright line at the bottom of the chat window. This requires an additional fee to remove.

Are there any hidden fees? Is the fee monthly, annual or one time?
There is no hidden fees, monthly fees or annual fees. We also offer add-ons such as an installation service for US$49.95, copyright line / link removal for US$249.95 and the iPhone app for approx. US$14.99 / iPhone.

Our Live Help Hosted service obviously as monthly fees as this is managed on our web servers. This product offered is detailed separately at http://livehelp.stardevelop.com/hosted/

When will you provide an application for Blackberry, Android and Windows Phone?
Currently we only offer an iPhone and Android app for our Live Help software. We are considering other mobile platforms and we plan on adding an Windows Phone, iPad and Blackberry applications in the future. As you know, between all the different mobile platforms (iPhone, Blackberry, Windows Phone, Android) there is quite a few different platforms to support and this will take time.

Why don't you have plans to support Windows Mobile 6?
We do not have plans for the current Windows Mobile 6 application. However we do have plans to release a Windows Phone 7 application before the end of this year. Windows Phone 7 is the new Windows mobile operating system and is replacing Windows Mobile 6. Microsoft is not providing backwards compatibility and we are very impressed within the upcoming Windows Phone 7 so we believe it is best to focus on that upcoming release rather than a platform they are ending support for soon. Details on Windows Phone 7 is available at http://www.windowsphone7.com/ if you are interested in that.

Why do I need to pay extra to remove the copyright line / link at the bottom of the chat windows?
We don’t include the copyright line / link removal within our standard licenses as this allows us to keep our license costs to a minimum. Many people prefer to pay less and leave the copyright line / link at the bottom of the chat window. Due to this we decided to add the copyright option as an extra add-on. If you wish to purchase this option then we may be able to offer you a discount, feel free to contact us.

How will I reach Technical Support?
You can reach technical support via. email or lodge a ticket at http://livehelp.stardevelop.com/kb/ticket/ or via. Live Help chat. We do not offer telephone technical support at this time.
You can also reach us on the Live Help chat if the Support department is available. Please do not contact the Sales department if Technical Support is offline as these departments are separate and Sales can not help with technical support.

Why don't you offer telephone technical support?
We believe that Live Help chat software can replace the telephone for an online business in 98% of online stores. For example one of the many benefits is that you can chat with many visitors at once over Live Chat however you can truly only handle a single telephone call at a time. In the future we may offer telephone technical support, however at this time we are focusing on providing Live Chat technical support.

How will I set up the VoIP and call back feature?
The VoIP call back button can be setup on your web pages by using the HTML code at http://livehelp.stardevelop.com/documentation/code-voip.htm This code will add the call back button to your web site. You can then configure the VoIP settings within the Settings tab for Skype or your Asterisk extension. An Asterisk server would need to be used for your VoIP telephone to work as expected, you then enter your extension details within the VoIP settings. Please free to contact us directly for technical support if you need any assistance.

Can I install Live Help within a sub-domain?
Yes you can install the Live Help software within a sub-domain, the sub-domain and installation would need to be located at something like http://chat.yourdomain.com/livehelp/ The /livehelp/ folder is still required by our software to function as expected.

Do you offer a trial / demo version of your software?
Unfortunately we do not have a trial / demo that you can install on your own server. Our Live Help software is distributed with the full PHP source code available. Due to this it is not possible to limit a trial version. We offer a 30 day money back guarantee instead of a trial, if you are not satisfied with our software for any reason. Simply you delete the software and email us for a full refund.

Do I receive software upgrades?
Regarding upgrades, you receive major and minor updates to the Live Help Server software. Minor updates are included for the Live Help Windows application, major updates to the Windows application may incur additional fees in the future. We have never charged for an update since our first release in 2003.

Single Domain License vs. Multiple Domain License, can you please explain this further?
The single domain license allows you to use Live Help within one domain only. This includes the usage of the Live Help button / HTML code and site visitor tracking code. This is the best license if your company only operates one domain. As you can only use the software within one domain (this includes the HTML code and JavaScript tracking) there would not be much benefit of having multiple installations within the one domain.
In contract to this, the multiple domain license allows you to use the Live Help software on all your company domain names. It does not allow your clients to use a copy of the Live Help software for their web sites. The license can only be used by one company (different companies require their own software license and we have a reseller program for reselling our software) This license is best for a company that has multiple domains, for example you might have a domain for each of your company’s products and services.

Do you have a reseller program?
Yes, we have a reseller program that is currently in development. The pricing starts at approx. 25% discount on individual reseller licenses and increases if you pre-purchase a bulk license pack. Please contact us if you would like further details on the reseller program include the terms and conditions.
