Newsletter archive now on the archiveHelp Desk!
No more searching for that back issue of the Center Stage Software newsletter that talked about that one thing you need to know right now.

We've created an archive on the Help Desk with links to all the newsletters we've issued since 2011. They are organized by year, with all the articles listed, and have links to the newsletters and to the articles, themselves.

Here's a link to the main Newsletter Archive page

Speaking of the newsletter!
Since we started the newsletter in May 2011, the newsletter has been viewed a whopping 8,086 times!
Let us give your new  demoexecutive a Wintix demo
Does your organization have a new executive director, box office manager or audience services manager?  If so, the new person on board might be concerned about your current ticketing software. Your organization has probably been contacted by competitors in the market place. Before you sign a contract with another ticketing company, please give us a call or email us your concerns.  We find that many of our clients are only using about 15 to 20% of the features in Wintix and Webtix and many of the features you may want are in the program.

We can schedule a 15 minute executive demo to show you what our software and support services can do that you might never have imagined.
Please update your Wintix on a regular basis!update
 
It is crucial that you update Wintix on all workstations at least once a month.
  • Make updating a recurring event on your calendar.
  • To update Wintix, go to Help | About Wintix and click the "Download update" button.

Was a credit card not approve but charged anyway?card
There might have been a break in the communication between your computer and Authorize.net.  Authorize.net may have received the communication to charge the card, but your ISP may have had a slight interruption so that Authorize.net could not communicate back to Wintix on your computer in time. So basically, there may have been a time out.
