SOFTWARE

As of 20 Dec 2024, a complimentary copy of Prairie Sky Consulting software may be made available to individually named users who (1) purchase a physical copy of the software User's Manual, (2) agree to and follow EULA and Privacy Policy Terms and Conditions, (3) and provide a valid proof-of-purchase Registration Form. (You may have to allow .xlsx downloading in your browser)

See EULA and Privacy Policy for step-by-step instructions for this process.

The return to a "publication model" was needed due to post Brexit UK VAT regulations that put undo administrative burden on small businesses outside the UK. In addition, EU GDPR requires products sold in the EU have a named EU representative. As the cost of implementing these regulations far exceeds the benefit of directly selling software in the UK and EU, therefore we have returned to the original "publication model" first adopted in 2023.

User's Manuals may only be purchased through the print-on-demand service www.lulu.com. 

One Manual must be purchased for each user who requests a complimentary copy of the associated software. 

See EULA and Privacy Policy for step-by-step instructions for this process.

After your User's Manual purchase, complete the proof-of-purchase Registration Form to apply for your one complimentary copy of the associated title for each user.
