Q. May I share my username and/or password with a colleague or co-worker?
A. You may not share individual usernames with others. Base and Premium level subscriptions include a specific number of individual seats, which are distributed to specific employees. The subscription Web site, and the information gathered or downloaded within, is for the sole use of the seatholder who logged in. (Note that employees of companies that subscribe on an Enterprise basis are not affected by this restriction.)

Q. I'd like to purchase one of your reports. What are my options?
A. We offer 3 delivery options:
(1) We will ship you a hard copy of the report.
(2) We will send a secure PDF via email.
PhoCusWright uses LockLizard Safeguard technology to
secure our PDFs. Our secure PDF reports are licensed to ONE USER on ONE COMPUTER only, and can only be viewed using our provided secure PDF viewer application. The secure viewer and user license must be installed in order to open the secure PDF. If you choose this delivery format, you will receive an email containing a link to the secure viewer installation file, as well as your exclusive viewer license file. The email will contain concise instructions for installing the small viewer application.
You will also receive a second email containing the actual secure PDF report. Once you've installed the viewer application, you will be able to view the secure PDF report as often as you like, but you will only be able to print the report ONCE. We do allow screenshots on our secure PDFs.
(3) We will send an unlocked PDF via email.
If you purchase an unlocked PDF, you will receive a normal, unsecured PDF of your report, which may be shared internally within your organization. Any sharing of PhoCusWright PDF reports outside of your immediate organization is strictly prohibited. NOTE: Unlocked PDF reports currently cost 33% more than the Secure PDF or printed report. All PhoCusWright Inc. publications are protected by copyright.

Q. I'd like to order a report and receive it via secure PDF. I have a Mac, will I have any difficulties viewing it?
A. Follow instructions below to view your secure PDF on your Mac.
1. Do not click the first viewer link in the PDF Viewer Registration email. There is a link for Mac users a few lines below it: "Apple Mac users can download the Viewer software from http://www.locklizard.com/Downloads/PDCViewerSetup.dmg"
2. After clicking the link, download the PDCViewer.dmg file
3. Double-click the .dmg file. It will show up as a 'disk' icon on your desktop.
4. Double-click the disc icon. It should open a window with an install package (.pkg) file in it.
5. Double click the install package and follow the prompts to install the software. Should be a quick process.
6. You can now close the install-package window and 'eject' the disk image icon that was created when you double-clicked the .dmg file.
7. Save the safeguard_v_license.llv file from your PDF Viewer Registration email to your desktop.
8. Double-click the .llv file. You should get a message that your viewer license was registered successfully.
9. Now Double-click your .PDC file (secured PDF report) file. It should load, register, and you should be able to view it just like a PDF.
