InSoft is pleased to announce the availability of a
new software service called Just In Time Software (JITS).
JITS is a result of the OpenDVE architecture, which
enables us to quickly turn out new product updates. These
product updates include new features, functions and bug
fixes to existing InSoft Plugins, as well as newly
developed Plugins.
These product updates will be made available to InSoft
Maintenance Customers via the InSoft World Wide Web (WWW)
site, "http://www.insoft.com" or via FTP at
"ftp.insoft.com". As product updates are
completed and tested, they will be posted to a special
maintenance section on our Web and FTP sites where you
can learn of the new updates. The updates will also be
listed in InSoft's quarterly newsletter, InView, debuting
in July.
InSoft Maintenance Customers will be given a
UserID/Password combination:
login: XXXXXXXX
password: XXXXXXXX
Each product update will be in a standard InSoft
package format and will follow the same installation
procedures. Each package will contain information
pertaining to its content, as well as, user
