<p>It just seems a waste to use a activation on the kiosk. So like a cheaper activation only for the kiosk or the kiosk doesn’t come out of the 3 activations</p>

<p>The Kiosk is not a feature, it is a additional mode<br>
that you can use in a separate computer to use<br>
for Printing and Uploading. The same as the Mirror Booth mode<br>
and having the ability to have more than one photo booth<br>
using one of your 3 Activations.</p>
<p>It is not wasting an activation - it is using the software<br>
to have it working as a Kiosk instead of a photo booth.<br>
Do you need the kiosk for your events? Is that a waste?<br>
NO... it is an option you provide the same as the photo booth.</p>
<p>No other software has a free / low cost kiosk.<br>
If you have used all 3 of your activations, you can Deactivate<br>
one of your computers to use the Kiosk ... if you need to use<br>
all 3 activations for the photo booth mode, then you will need<br>
to purchase another license and get 3 more activations.</p></div>Joe Connelltag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/467260122018-12-29T19:55:13Z2018-12-29T19:55:13ZSharing Station<div><p>Hi Joe,</p>
<p>Is the kiosk updated or does it Stay the same? If I purchased another license would I need to update it on the new versions?</p>
<p>Can I purchase a license for an older version?</p>

but when using the Kiosk mode, it would not matter<br>
what version of the software or even what photo booth<br>
software you are using. The Kiosk will only monitor<br>
the save folder/directory for printing and uploading.</p>
<p>No you can not purchase an older version,<br>
when a newer version becomes available,<br>
all older versions become obsolete and<br>
are no longer available for purchase.</p></div>Joe Connelltag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/467260122018-12-29T20:13:53Z2018-12-29T20:13:53ZSharing Station<div><p>Cheers Joe. And I assume when I upgraded I lost the old activations? So I can’t use an old one?</p>

<p>You do not lose Activations... when you Upgrade a license<br>
you are sent a new license key to Activate any 3 computers.<br>
Your old license is traded in for the new Upgraded version...<br>
like trading in an older model car for a newer model...</p>
<p>The current 6.0 version IS backward compatible for 5.0<br>
so you could download (if you didn't already have it/but you do)<br>
and use your new license key to unlock the 5.0 version<br>
no lose of any activations.</p></div>Joe Connelltag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/467260122018-12-29T20:51:51Z2018-12-29T20:51:51ZSharing Station<div><p>Ok cool. So many questions but just to confirm;</p>
<p>My v6 I have now I can keep upgrading etc as thins go along</p>
<p>I can buy another v6 and just not upgrade and use it forever on kiosk (assuming I don’t want to upgrade it)</p>

<strong>YES</strong></p>
<p><em>I can buy another v6 and just not upgrade and use it forever on kiosk (assuming I don’t want to upgrade it)</em><br>
<strong>Understand if you purchase a new license, it will have (3) more<br>
Activations that you can use... for a Kiosk, 2 kiosk, 1 kiosk/2photo booths...<br>
so only buying for use as a kiosk (IMO) would be foolish...<br>
You can get another license and if you need to Upgrade that license<br>
all you will need to do is use the license key on the kiosk computer</strong></p></div>Joe Connelltag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/467260122018-12-29T21:48:21Z2018-12-29T21:48:21ZSharing Station<div><p>Can I buy a premium version rather then dslr if I’m only using it for the kiosk?</p>
