Can EnCalcE Be Installed Over An Existing Version?

The only exception to this is when upgrading from versions 2.3 and below and the user upgrading is different to the user who originally installed the program, in this case uninstall the old program first.

What Is The Calculation Accuracy?
4 decimal places plus or minus 0.0001.

How Do I Use The Program To Compare Two Items With Different Hours Of Use?

What Currencies Has EnCalcE Been Tested With?
UK Pounds (£), US Dollars ($) and Euros ( €). It should work OK with other currencies.

How Accurate Is The CO2 Conversion Factor?
The conversion factor is a compromise since the actual figure is dependent on the mix of capacity used to generate the electricity used which in practice will vary due to the time of year, the time of day and the losses is the transmission system which vary with distance. This factor can be changed from the main screen if required to suit particular circumstances.

Why Doesn't The Save Defaults Button Work ?
The Save Defaults button will only work if the program is run by a user with administrative privileges.
