Frontier Analyst® FAQs - General

Where can I get training?

A variety of places! Training in the use of Frontier Analyst® ranges from the basics - how to create a map and "which buttons to press", through to advanced workshops which deal with "power user" applications - facilitating workshop, seamless use of Frontier Analyst® via the command line. There are a number of courses available. See our training pages for details.

The install code doesn't work

All install code problems are down to not typing the code in correctly, although this is usually because it's not 100% clear whether a character is an 'I' or a '1' ('eye' or 'one'), or an '0' or 'O' (zero or 'oh'). The install codes are printed in a font which does differentiate, but unless you have two characters to compare it can be difficult. The 'Oh' is generally more rounded than the zero which is more oval. The 'eye' character has 'serifs' (extra little lines) on both sides at the top of the character, the one has only the left hand serif.

In general, the character will (as the software suggests), be a zero and not a letter 'oh'. However, the letter 'oh' will appear in some codes, so you should try both combinations. Make sure that the user has entered the '-' characters in the right places too, nothing extra should be entered.

Can I run Frontier Analyst® on a Mac?

Yes, if you have a Windows emulator.

We know of many users who are using Frontier Analyst® on a Macintosh using a Windows emulator. If you want to see how well it works for you, then download the demonstration program. This is a fully working version of Frontier Analyst®, limited only in the number of concepts (ideas) that you can enter. If this program works with your Windows emulator, then the full program will.

At present there are no immediate plans to produce a Mac version of the software. Sorry - we cannot be more specific or give you any more details at this time, but this is a discussion which comes up from time to time. A Mac version has not been ruled out as a possibility.
