About CNR Technology

Yes. And the experience will be much better if you have high-speed Internet access, since download time with high-speed Internet will be significantly shorter than with dial-up.

If your Premium CNR Service is expired or canceled, you will still be able to run any program that you have downloaded from CNR.com. However, if you uninstall the program or reinstall your operating system, you will need to download the programs again. Also, you will not be able to download any updates for those programs through CNR.com.

NOTE: This is not valid for Click N Buy (CNB) products. These are commercial programs that require a purchase. CNB products will still be available to you through CNR.com, even without a subscription, as long as that version of the CNB product is available in CNR.com.

What are CNB?

The best in commercial desktop Linux software & services!

CNB, which stands for "e;Click-N-Buy"e; is the best in commercial desktop Linux software and services available to all CNR.com users. Titles like StarOffice, Win4Lin, Garage Games, SageTV, Cedega and MyBooksPro and more are available for purchase through CNR.com.

What is the voting booth?

The voting booth is a place where CNR subscribers can nominate and vote for the software they would most like to see added to CNR.com. (Coming Soon)

How do I find software?

You can use the Search tool on the top right-hand corner. You can search broadly by typing in terms such as "e;photo"e; for digital photography applications. Or, if you know the name of the software you're looking for, just type in the name.

Also, you can filter software programs by displaying the most recent, most popular, commercial or free programs

You can also explore Aisles: Aisles are groups of software programs collected on one page. You can explore CNR Aisles to see if anyone has created an aisle of software that matches your interests.

Featured Aisles is a great place to begin. Here, you'll find some of our most popular aisles. Or you can go to the Aisles Page where you can search or browse all of the more than 9,000 aisles created by CNR users. Aisles can be set as public or private depending on your CNR Service level. (Coming soon)

How do I install software?

Just click the green running man icon next to any software.

Once you find a program, you can install it by clicking the green running man icon next to the program listing or on the "e;product page"e; for that program.

1) Click the green running man to install an individual program.

With that single click the program will download and install on your computer. You'll know the program is installing when the green running man at the bottom right of the CNR window begins to spin. A progress bar will also appear in the bottom of your window.

2) The green running man will spin as the program installs.

Once the installation is complete a shortcut to the program will appear on your desktop. The installed program will also be saved under the History tab in the CNR Client.

Advanced users can also download CNR software via the command line.

How do I uninstall software?

To uninstall a software application, follow these four steps:

- Click on the CNR icon in your system tray to bring up the CNR Client window
- Find the software you want to uninstall
- Highlight the software you want to uninstall by clicking on it
- Click the "e;Uninstall"e; button at the bottom of the window or right-click on it and select "e;Uninstall"e;


Where do I find my software once it's installed?

An icon for your installed software will appear on your desktop once the software is installed. You can also add an entry to the Autostart script. To open a specific software product, select the software from the list in the CNR Client and then right-click on that selected program. Select "Add to Autostart". This will modify the Autostart script and add the selected product installed software in the "e;Launch"e; menu under "e;Run Programs"e;.

What are software update notifications?

With CNR you don't need to continually check for new software updates.An update notification icon will appear in your system tray each time a new update for one of your programs becomes available.

Move your mouse pointer over the flashing icon and you will see a list of available updates.

When you click the update notification icon, the CNR Client will open and display a list of programs that have available updates. To install an update, click the update you want to install then click on the "e;Update"e; button at the bottom of the window.
