Do I have the Latest MacNail?

PRoblem

wants to know if they have the latest version of MacNail construction management software

Diagnosis

seems like 50% of tech calls nowadays are just "do I have the latest" questions.
The long & short is that we haven't updated ANY of the MacNail construction software programs since 1997, and we don't intend to. They will all be retired after we add more features to Goldenseal over the next year or 2.

NOTE-- MacNail construction software is doomed because Microsoft retired the original macro language in 1995, and switched to Visual Basic. That means that a few more things stop working at each new version of Excel. Rather than rewrite all the code to get back to the same place, we decided to write a stand-alone program (Goldenseal), which gives us a better interface and fewer problems. Note that the 'code change' problems in Excel (which MS has still not fixed) also contributed to this decision.

Solution

You can check them in the database and reassure them about vsns (only if they purchased before 97 is there worry about having outdated versions).
