In order to help make the software better, it is important for us to know which areas of the software are being used and which areas are hardly being touched.
So in version 8.8, when you choose to do an automatic software update, it will also provide you with an option to send anonymous usage statistics to RentMaster. The screen will also show you exactly what information is going to be sent to us. You can choose not to send these usage statistics if you prefer. But I can assure you that the statistics really are anonymous.
The current plan is to publish some of these statistics later once we get more meaningful stats. Once that is done I will publish another blog entry.
