New!! THINKERNET CHANGING NAME AND ZONE ACCESS

Click to enter the ThinkerNET Zone!

Get into the Zone!

The support and update program for Steeplechase and Think & Do customers is now called ESS - Entivity Support Subscription. The program includes unlimited technical support, updates, software improvement modules, replacement licenses (if lost or stolen) and web access to update and driver downloads.

Check out the ESS/ThinkerNET section on the new website. You may have already noticed the transition on our website and recent correspondence.

www.entivity.com is undergoing a change to make access to the "Zone" easier and more user friendly for the Think & Do Customers. For Steeeplechase users, we are adding the ability to download updates right from the website! Customers with valid serial or certificate of integrity numbers will have access to the latest updates and downloads.

The transition is underway but we still have a few weeks to go. We ask for your patience and if you are experiencing any access problems right now, you can call 734-205-5124 for assistance. Once we have the new site fully converted, we'll ask all of our customers to register their current licenses and establish new usernames and passwords. This change will create a faster and more efficient method to gain access to the ESS ZONE.

To be sure that you'll be included in these new changes and web access opportunities, Renew your ESS/ThinkerNET today. At the time of release, Studio 7.0 will only be offered to customers with a current Studio ThinkerNET contract. For VLC 6.0, and LIVE 5.5, don't miss your chance to update your licenses, Our GET CURRENT PROMOTION ENDS 6/30/02.
(see www.entivity.com for details)

Find out how the Grand Canyon National Park saved time and money using Entivity products!!!

Read the entire story here!

The Grand Canyon National Park provides utilities and protective services for 5,000 residents and millions of park visitors. The park saved time and money by replacing their entire control network with Entivity LIVE! PC-Based control systems.

Michael Martin, Grand Canyon Controls Engineer, commented: "We are very pleased with the results! Using open protocols and off-the shelf technology, we greatly simplified installation and commissioning. We have also increased our telecommunications capacity. The project has been a resounding success!."
