Not ‘Officially’ Supported on Windows 7

WebSpy Live, Sentinel and FlowMonitor are not yet officially supported on Windows 7 and will be updated soon. In the mean time, here are some instructions on how to get these products working on Windows 7 right now.

WebSpy Live

The existing version of Live will install and run on Windows 7 with one minor issue. When you run the application, there will be no Triggers, Aliases, or Profiles available.

To fix this:

1. Install and run WebSpy Live on Windows 7.
2. Shutdown WebSpy Live by right-clicking the Live icon in the Windows system tray and selecting ‘Shutdown’
   

   Shutting down WebSpy Live on Windows 7

3. Download the following file containing WebSpy Live’s default Triggers, Aliases and Profiles:
   WebSpy Live Default Files (zip – 19.7 KB).
4. Extract the zip file to C:\Users\<your user profile>\AppData\Roaming\WebSpy\Live 2.2 and overwrite the existing files.
5. Run WebSpy Live. You will now be able to see a list of Triggers, Profiles and Aliases on the respective Configuration screens in WebSpy Live.

WebSpy Sentinel

WebSpy Sentinel will not yet install on Windows 7 due to an issue with the included version of WinPCap (the packet driver used by Sentinel).

To fix this:

1. Download and install the latest version (4.1.1) of WinPCap from http://www.winpcap.org/install/default.htm
2. Install WebSpy Sentinel. The product should install and run without issue.

FlowMonitor

Unfortunately no work around is available for WebSpy FlowMonitor. We will update the product to work with Windows 7 as soon as possible.

We’ve got a great deal at the moment where you get 20% off Live and Sentinel if you purchase them online with Analyzer Standard.

In the beginning of February 2009 WebSpy joined forces with e-commerce service provider Avangate to facilitate secure online purchases of Analyzer Standard, WebSpy’s SMB Internet monitoring and reporting software. WebSpy also enabled partners and online shopping sites to incorporate Avangate’s e-commerce links into their websites and receive a commission on every sale linked from their site.

“Our e-commerce initiative has proven to be an immediate success for a number of reasons.” says WebSpy’s CEO, Jack Andrys. “Monthly Analyzer Standard leads have increased by 30% and new online affiliate requests, from resellers and download sites wanting to promote our software, are steadily increasing.” Andrys adds, “Avangate’s technology has automated the majority of sales and administrative efforts involved during a regular trial-to-purchase scenario. Our sales team is still involved checking up on prospects but Avangate has freed up their valuable time substantially.”

Andrys concludes, “As a result of Analyzer Standard’s e-commerce triumph WebSpy will shortly make another two solutions, WebSpy Live and WebSpy Sentinel, available via Avangate’s e-commerce Network.”

WebSpy’s Marketing Co-ordinator, Åsa Davidsson, comments that, “The key factor behind our e-commerce success is its simplicity. Avangate’s very sophisticated technology makes it effortless for us, as a vendor, to manage products, sales, reporting and to efficiently push our solution through established software download sites.” Davidsson continues, “Our online affiliates benefit from the same simplicity by being able to register, add links to their website, and start selling products and earning commissions in a matter of hours.”

Davidsson is confident about WebSpy’s e-commerce future and states, “To ensure continued and augmented success we will persist in expanding our online product portfolio as well as targeting and signing up additional online affiliates.”
