@Neverlost:
would you be so kind to write me directly? I’m aware of the random crash that happens at startup. This seems to happen when there are many other software launched at the same time. I’m working on fixing this. In the meantime I’d suggest you try Startup Delayer (a free tools that puts a delay between program launches at startup)

@Glenn:
If you have received your license file, Direct Access is fully functional. Write me if you are still having problems.

Today I got a ‘trail software’ warning! It looks like the free registration did not work.

I’ve been using DA for a few days and wanted to thank Nagarsoft for this wonderful product. Like many, I’d almost given up my keyboard for dead. I use icons for everything, program links, folder links, web links. So at first, I didn’t see the benefit of DA.

But now I use it constantly. Names, Addresses, Phone numbers, any text is faster when abbreviated (isn’t it ironic how long the word abbreviation is). I can google for info in the middle for typing something without having to reach for my mouse. I still use my QuickLaunch icons but I’m not so dependant on them now.

Thanks Nagarsoft and GOTD!

Andrea, I’m still getting that occasional crash when I boot up WinXP.

@Grand Pubah
Have you finally been able to activate the software?

I had problems activating this software on two different computers. Otherwise it’s a great program that saves a log of mousing around.

@Kyle
I’m going to send you an email in few hours. I’ll check the db to see if I got your registration right.

I supposedly registered just fine on 5/3, but I ran Direct Access today and now it’s a trial version. What gives??

Regarding the license, same thing is true for Direct Access. You can use it on your home pc, office PC and notebook.
Yes, Activewords is much more mature but it looks like it has stopped growing and it’s much more resource hungry than Direct Access.

#27, Andrea Nagar, when I said in post #25 that "the functionality appears limited", I meant in comparison to similar applications. ActiveWords PLUS is a mature product, having been around for many years, and is currently much more feature-rich, with many free add-ins available. The concept of giving away software for free for a limited time is not new; I received ActiveWords for free nearly a decade ago (and apparently, they've given away some free copies since). ActiveWords PLUS has a free 60-day trial, and although it costs $50 vs. Direct Access' $40, ActiveWords PLUS personal license may be used on any number of computers that the purchaser owns. ActiveWords can automatically suggest new actions, via monitoring what actions the user commonly performs. It has free add-ins that are similar to auto-correct, can perform searches, perform arithmetic, convert numeric text to words, etc. More than one action may be associated with the same shortcut/abbreviation.
