Having read through the info about the sceduled maintenance for PC website and PP & P3 several times, I still have a question.:confused:

When it says that P3 won't be available, does this mean it won't be available for online things - like ordering, etc.....or does this mean I won't be able to open it at all? I have a show on the 20th, and use my laptop for orders, and I just want to be prepared if I have to do it without it.:cry:
 
It's probably just not available to submit orders online. I would think that a software program loaded to your computer is available to you at any time.
 
I think what they mean is you can't submit, you can't get updates, etc.
 
Yes Becky, you can open it and enter all you want. You just can't submit or get updates...work away otherwise! :)
 
When I tried to sudmit a show last night, I had to reopen 3 times b.c of updates! I like P3 but I would like the option to submit first then update. It took me forever and I was trying to finished before CANE came on, ha!
