If Windows shows a warning

Windows may say it protected your PC, because the program is new and not yet widely downloaded. If you downloaded it from this page, choose More info, then Run anyway. We are working on a signed version.

Languages

This website and the help pack are available in English, French, Spanish and German. The demo program itself is in English for now. Translated versions are planned.

Help

Download the Help Pack. It is a single document that you can paste into an AI assistant such as Claude, which can then answer your questions about the program. It is a convenience, not official support, and it can make mistakes. For anything important, email support@bioship.ca.

Help Pack (English)

Licence and support

A licence is $79 CAD. It is permanent: the program keeps working and your data stays. An optional renewal fee gives you updates and support. It is unlikely that you'll need it, but it's there if you want. Every customer receives a permanent licence. At this price support is deliberately light: one phone call and one email to get you going. The program is built to be straightforward and dependable, and the full user manual and the Help Pack for your AI assistant answer everyday questions.

Reduced pricing is available for individuals, non-profits and lower-income countries. Just ask when you order.

Buy a licence

An Ounce of Prevention keeps records. It does not certify that anything meets a standard or regulation. By downloading you agree to use the demo for evaluation only.
