Strategic Planning Kit For Dummies®, 2nd Edition

What You'll Find on the CD

In this section, I provide a summary of the software and other goodies you can find on the CD. If you need help with installing the items provided on the CD, refer to the installation instructions in the preceding section.

For each program listed here, I provide the program platform (Windows or Mac) plus the type of software. The programs fall into one of the following categories:

• Shareware programs are fully functional, free, trial versions of copyrighted programs. If you like particular programs, register with their authors for a nominal fee and receive licenses, enhanced versions, and technical support.
• Freeware programs are free, copyrighted games, applications, and utilities. You can copy them to as many computers as you like — for free — but they offer no technical support.
• GNU software is governed by its own license, which is included inside the folder of the GNU software. There are no restrictions on distribution of GNU software. See the GNU license at the root of the CD for more details.
• Trial, demo, or evaluation versions of software are usually limited either by time or functionality (such as not letting you save a project after you create it).

The following list is an outline of all the materials you can find on the CD, organized by chapter. I also include some links to videos on my website (www.mystrategicplan.com) for more information on a particular tool.
