Pro Dada Purchase FAQ

What I going to receive?

Once you purchase Pro Dada, you'll receive, via email your one-year subscription login information. This will allow you to download both Pro Dada and the Dada Mail Manual for one full year. You may also read the manual online.

What happens after my one-year subscription?

Once your one-year subscription has ended, you will no longer be able to log in and be able to download Pro Dada or the Dada Mail Manual. Any installations of Pro Dada that you have and any downloads of the manual you made will still function, 100%

I'd like to extend my subscription for another year - what do I do?

Go ahead and just subscribe for another year. Nothing to it. You'll probably receive new login information, so make sure to update your passwords!

Explain the Differences between Dada Mail and Pro Dada?

The free version of Dada Mail has links on most HTML screens and email messages it produces that point back to the support site. For example:

Pro Dada does not have List and Subscription Quotas by default. Pro Dada also comes with the Dada Mail Manual. The Dada Mail Manual can either be viewed online, or dowloaded (html).
