Technical/Product Usage 

  What do I get when I purchase an AdvancedCLP practice test?
After purchasing a product, you will be provided with a URL to a web page which allows you to download the practise test engine (a Notes database) via HTTP download.  You will also receive a receipt via email, and a license file via email which must be installed in the same directory as the Notes Database. 

Do I need a Lotus Notes client to use AdvancedCLP software?
Yes. The practice tests are built as Lotus Notes databases, so you need a Lotus Notes client to run them. 

What version of Lotus Notes client does AdvancedCLP software run on?
Our Practice Tests are certified for use with Lotus Notes R6.x and above.  Note however that the links in each test references the Notes Help databases which matches the practice test.  e.g.  Exam 702 references the ND7 Help topics.  Exam 802 references the ND8 Help Topics.  So it is best to use the client version which corresponds to the exam you are sitting.

Can I use an AdvancedCLP Practice Test on more than one computer?
Yes.  Since our practice tests are Lotus Notes databases, they can be used on multiple computers.  The practice tests are secured to a single nominated Lotus Notes user ID; as long as the user ID is available on each computer you can use the Practice Test on those computers.

Do I need a Domino server to use AdvancedCLP Practice Tests?
No.  Our practice tests are designed to run using only a Notes client.

Can I put an AdvancedCLP Practice Test on a Domino server?
Yes.  However note that our practice tests are secured to one individual who is nominated at purchase time.  There is little point in placing it on a server because only that individual may use the product according to our license agreement.

Can I use AdvancedCLP Practice Tests with a Notes R4.6x Client and Notes 5.x Client?
No.  We originally created an R4.6x and R5.x ODS version of the Practice Tests but we have withdrawn them due to lack of demand.  

What operating system does the AdvancedCLP software run on?
Any operating system that can run a Lotus Notes client.

Is there a minimum specification which my computer must meet to run the software?
Any computer than can run a Lotus Notes client can run the software.

Licensing and Registration 

Can I purchase the software and give it to a friend when I'm finished with it?
No. The software is secured so that only one person can use it. When you purchase the software you purchase a non-transferrable license which can only be used by yourself, however you may use it on different computers.

Future Products 

Is AdvancedCLP planning to create practice test software for other Lotus exams?
Yes. We intend to create a number of additional products. Please email info@advancedclp.com to let us know which exam you'd like to see.

Does AdvancedCLP have plans to make a version of the software that  is a stand-alone application which does not require the Lotus Notes client?
Not at this stage. We figure that all people wishing to sit the exams would require access to the Lotus Notes client for study purposes, so there is no need to provide a stand-alone Practice Test application. Besides, a Lotus Notes database is platform independent and doesn't involve installing a bunch of unwanted files on your system.

Exam Questions 

Am I guaranteed to pass the exam if I can answer all of the questions in the testing software?
No. It is important to understand that practice testing software is one of many study aids required to pass the exam. By far the most important aspect is practical experience with the product.

Are the questions in the testing software the same as those on the exam?
No. However the questions will cover the same topics that you will find on the exam and you should find that many of the questions are similar.  We work with IBM  to ensure close alignment with their exam content.

Support 

How do I get help if my software doesn't work properly on delivery?
You can receive free email support by visiting our support page.  We will work with you to resolve the problem.

I ordered a product from AdvancedCLP and when I try to use it, I get a message saying that I'm not authorized.  Why does this happen?
This can happen if the Lotus Notes user name you provided during the purchasing process does not match the Lotus Notes user ID that you are using to access the product.  Please visit our support page for information on free email support and we will work with you to resolve the problem.

Why don't my doclinks work?
You are using the wrong client version for the exam you are intending to sit.  e.g.  If you are sitting a Notes 7 exam, use the Notes 7.x client.

Orders 

How can I pay?
The main way of purchasing is by using a credit card with our secure on-line order form.  We accept Visa, MasterCard, Australian BankCard, Diners Club, and American Express.  Alternatively you can download an order form and mail or fax it to us.  For more information click here.

I ordered a product and have not received the license file yet.  What can I do?
The license file is sent immediately after your order is processed.  If you have not received the license file, chances are it was trapped by a spam server, or was somehow lost during transit.  Some common reasons that license files don't arrive are; a) people accidentally leave invalid email addresses due to typing mistakes b) sometimes we cannot send email to mail systems for reasons unknown c) sometimes we receive your email but replies bounce for reasons unknown.  In all of these cases, please ensure that you try sending us an email from one (or more) different email addresses and please include a phone number that we can contact you on, and also preferably leave an alternate email address.  You can also try sending us a fax and leave a return fax number if you suspect your email is not getting through.  We answer all email so if you have not received a reply, chances are we never received your email.
