XMind

Collaborative Minds!

Here, we collect the most frequently asked questions in last month.

First one is from Nobuo a Japanese user.
“I have two PCs (my office and my home). So, I can ran one Pro version at a time. Should I purchase one license? Or I have to purchase two licenses even though?”

XMind: You only need one subscription code for all your PCs.
Being an XMind Pro user, you should have an XMind account, and then activate/renew your account with subscription code. Then with this activated account,  you can use XMind Pro on any computer which has XMind.

Second question is from Davy a French user and Florian a Germany supportor.
“I would really apreciate to used Xmind Pro even when I don’t have an Internet connection. Can you help me ?”

XMind: Of course, you can use XMind Pro offline.  The solution is:
Enable “Remember me on this computer” in the signin dialog while you signing in with your activated account. Then your XMind Pro will not ask you to sign in before the expiration date.

The last one has been asked by Many users from UK, Singapore, Spain, France, and etc.
“We would like to buy 10, or 30, or 50, please tell us the volume price.”

XMind: Yes, XMind Pro has prepared the volume discount for supporters.

• 10% for 10-20 codes;
• 20% for 21-50 codes;
• 30% for 51-80 codes;
• 40% for 81-120 codes.

And you can directly transfer money to XMind Ltd bank account in HongKong.

Below are four maps which are special and viewed/downloaded many times online. We believe it’s possible to learn something from them.

How 2 take effective note

In this map, Ms eili, a dental student shared us how to improve the note taking skills step by step.

Mind Mapping for Musicians

Mr Marko Zirkovich shares some ideas where mind mapping can be useful for musicians visualized.

Fiche Projet

Mr LOCHET Pierre-Yves who is from France, shows us a film project in XMind. He uses more elements than many other maps, such as multiple structures, boundary, relationship, summary, and markers.

Sun

This is a really amazing map! It shocks me every time I read it. In fact, I have downloaded and saved it as one favorite map. A solar system map.

In fact, I am usually surprised by the creativity when I read shared maps online. We are here, around the World, waiting yours!

MindMap is simple and powerful. Esp. when we understand more experiences about XMind, a great mind mapping software tool.

We find that, video is a better channel to let people know a tool well, and there also be some videos about XMind created by users. We already posted one, Concentrate in XMind, last week. Below one another, created by chubble10, about using XMind on Ubuntu.

If you have interest, please share your videos at:
Collecting XMind Video .

While we are mapping our mind, we may need to focus on a branch, or a topic some time. In XMind, that is very easy to achieve. Just one click, F6, you will be in a brand-new space. Below is a video about it.

Some users have reported that they paid the money via Paypal. But after finishing the payment, they still did not receive the Subscription codes. This brings much trouble for users, esp some people are very urgent to enjoy the Pro features, such as Presentation, Audio Notes, TaskInfo and Gantt Chart.

This turned out to be the problem of not finishing the full procedure. The entire procedure to subscribe XMind Pro with Paypal is below:

1. Visit the Purchase page, http://www.xmind.net/pro/buy/
2. Click “Buy Now” button
3. Confirm the order quantity and Fill the simple form, and click “Continue” button below.
4. Now, you are on the Paypal page. Please fill paypal account and password to finish the payment here.
5. After finishing the payment, Please do not close the browser, and wait the browser back to the “Thank You” page of XMind.net.
6. When you see the “Thank You” page, XMind system will automatically send Subscription Code(s) to you via email within 8 hours.

Note: Your code(s) will be sent to Paypal account email, not the registered email on XMind.net.

Some users just didn’t wait for the browser back to “Thank you” Page. As a result, our server wouldn’t receive the sign to send out the subscription code automatically.Once this happened, do not worry, please send an email including the purchase date, receipt no., paypal account to Sales@XMind.net.  You will get the Code(s) within 24 hours.

Again, on Jan. 28, Apple brought us another big surprise, iPad. The whole world are crazy and talking over it. On Twitter, Facebook, blogs and etc, iPad has been everywhere. The only word to describe it may be “amazing”. iPad has the amazing idea, shape, design, and the philosophy.

Importantly, we also so agree with what Churk Frey has said in blog, “Mind mapping on the iPad could be incredibly cool!”.

You know, many investigations indicate that, pen and paper are still the first important tool for many people to do creative things, like mind mapping, planning and notes-taking, although there is a high-performance computer in front of them. During communication with XMind’s friends, we know that even the heavy users still draw maps on paper sometimes. Because we still like using our fingers.

iPad is totally different! It’s different than iPhone and iPod touch, which don’t suit for using mind mapping software, because of their own limitations. It’s different than Macs and netbooks. It’s even different than any other tablet PCs. It’s a brand-new platform. “It’s a game changer!”

XMind has begun the plan upon XMind for iPad. It’s brand-new, too. It’s totally re-invented. Of course, ease-to-use, powerful, humanity, and friendly will still be its character and specialty. We won’t be the first mind mapping software on iPad. You know, it’s XMind’s style. But we do believe that the XMind for iPad should become the best mind mapping software in the world. Even better than XMind for desktop!

If you have any idea about mind mapping for iPad, please feel free to contact us via ipad@xmind.net. Thanks!
