Your Trog Bar license allows you to install it on both your desktop and laptop computers with a single license for one user. If that's your case, feel free to keep it in both places. See here for the exact conditions:

Tip: Generally, you should have only one task list and one calendar. If you have separate, unconnected installations of Trog Bar on both computers you'll have two lists and you could lose track of tasks.

Exception: If you separate work and personal life, you can have one list at home and one at work. However, you will need to process your tasks and email in both places separately.

You'll need something like Exchange Server hosting (very inexpensive) to show you the same task list/calendar on both computers without having to manually synchronize. See here for suggested Exchange providers:

We highly recommend this approach instead of manual synchronization. Manual synchronization always causes problems sooner or later.

I'm new to Trog, but does this mean that if I use Exchange (which I do), I can load Trog on two different machines (home and office) and not have to worry about synching tasks and such? I was afraid that the two computers would fall out of synch; but it looks like Trog works "on the fly" from whatever is in the Exchange server. Is that correct?

Absolutely. Exchange seamlessly syncs your tasks between all your computers on the same Exchange account, so your Trog/Outlook tasks and contacts and emails stay in sync. Exchange also does it brilliantly with Windows Mobile smart phones. (Trog doesn't run on smart phones yet, but you can made small adjustments to the way you process tasks and get good visibility on them on your handheld as well.)

Ken,
I have taken your recommendation to use 123together.com to set up an exchange server, and am very pleased with the result.  I am now syncing my desktop, laptop, and MotoQ smartphone.  I never knew that I could be so 'up to date'!

Thanks for the great work!

You're welcome!

Everyone, the link to our latest recommended provider is here:

the recommendation could change from time to time based on our experience with the hosted Exchange (and Blackberry Enterprise Server) providers.
