Become an installer

PC manufacturers or high-end custom installers and system integrators, commonly referred to as "Installers" can supply the My Movies software for either Windows Media Center, Windows Home Server 2011 or Windows Server 2012 Essentials with their machines, either as option to improve the functionality of existing products, or by supplying products build mainly for the purpose the software suite offers.

Supplying our software to customers in any relation may only occur by being part of our installer program. There is a $250 signup fee to join the program, which covers registration costs - the sign-up fee also includes a number of demonstration licenses that can be used on the installers own demonstration and test devices.

The installers name and logo will be shown on the about page in My Movies for Windows Media Center, the Collection Management program, and on the general My Movies settings page in the My Movies Home and Essentials Server Solution software.

Installers will after sign-up receive an XML file, which contains company information, the company's installer id number and optionally a company logo file will be included. This file is applied to each installation along with a license key for the product that is being installed - the license key is purchased by the installer in the installer area.

Once licensed, the software does not require a user account, and any product limitations that normally required points are lifted. Users who would like to contribute to the online service, synchronize their collection to the My Movies mobile applications, or create an online collection can create a user account as normal, without this user account affecting the program functionality.
