Microsoft SQL Server Installer which we use, requires disks to have compression turned off. In some versions of the system, this option is enabled by default. We recommend that you check this option before running the installer.
It is also important to check if there are any updates in the Windows system that require updating or restarting the computer. This must be done before starting the installation.

The software allows you to calculate the price of the project in real time. Every time we add a new item, the software calculates the price of it. This means that the project always has the right price, which we can check.
The software calculates the price of:
- materials,
- production and assembly services,
- installation services,
- additional services (such as transport etc.).
Element price
You can check the price of each element in the project. When you select the item, prices appears on the Element properties window. You can check the element price and installation price.
Total project price
At the bottom of the project window You can find the 3 values. They sum up the prices of all elements available in the project:
- Elements
- Installation
- Total
The software can be integrated with woodworking machines such as panel saws, edge banding machines, cnc machining centers, glass cutting machines and others. The software can communicate with external optimizers as well which helps to reduce the cost of manufacturing products. Integrations are only possible after additional analysis.
After the trial period when you start Komandor Software you can get the pop up window with the message that Feature has expired. This means that the 90 days free use ends up. To continue please go back to your account and purchase the license.
