Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some typical questions that people ask before buying BSC Designer.

Do I need the Online or PRO version?
You can choose to use one of the products or use both of them. It is easy, as they are seamlessly integrated.

  • BSC Designer Online gives you an opportunity to store your scorecards in the cloud, present organizational structure, share scorecards with other users, and assign specific access rights to the scorecards. Another benefit is that you can access BSC Designer Online from any device with a web-browser.
  • With BSC Designer PRO, you have the freedom to use the software without an Internet connection (for example, during a long business flight). It also has more functionality related to the reporting that is not yet supported by cloud technologies.

The difference between these two products was explained in the details here.

How many licenses does our organization need?

The answer depends on many factors such as:

  • The number of employees directly involved in the Balanced Scorecard and the discussions around strategy.
  • Planned use of the software (KPIs only or full-cycle from strategy discussions to performance measurements and reporting).

We have discussed some of these nuanced in this article here. Also, you can find more information about possible implementation and cascading models for the Balanced Scorecard in this article.

How is the license delivered?
The license is delivered as a registration code electronically by email. You will need to enter the registration code in BSC Designer and then activate your license. You can do this automatically if you have access to the Internet; if not, you will need to contact our support office to activate it manually.
What View-Only users can do?

BSC Designer Online subscription includes unlimited number of view-only users. View-only users can have view-only access to the scorecards (all tabs). Administrator of the account can decide about rights for specific view-only user.

For the BSC Designer PRO the view-only users are provided via freeware tool BSC Designer Reader.

As it follows from their type name, view-only users cannot introduce any change to the scorecard.

What are the maintenance costs for a permanent license?

A BSC Designer PRO permanent license permits you to have free upgrades within one year of the purchase date.

After this period, the price of an annual upgrade is calculated as 30% of the retail price. Annual upgrades are not obligatory, and the old version of software can be used; however, customer support can be provided to the owners of the latest versions only.

In the case where the licenses were not upgraded annually, the price of an upgrade will increase respectively up to 50% of the retail price for the upgrades after a 2-year period, 75% of the retail price after a 3-year period, and 85% of the retail price after a 4-year period.

Can I install BSC Designer PRO on both my desktop and laptop?
Yes, according to our license agreement, if you are the only user of BSC Designer PRO, then you can install it on your personal computers. If you are ready to involve more people in your Balanced Scorecard project, then contact us to buy additional licenses.
Is there a freeware version of BSC Designer?
Yes, you can find one here. With BSC Designer Light, you can build a KPI scorecard, but it doesn’t provide strategy map, dashboards, analysis, alerts, and teamwork functions.

Will I have access to my scorecards if stop my subscription?
When you cancel your BSC Designer PRO subscription, the software will stop working, but you will be able to view your scorecards with a freeware BSC Designer Reader.

When you cancel your subscription with BSC Designer Online, the account data will be deleted after a short period of time. We recommend backing up your scorecards before account cancelation or export scorecard data to Excel spreadsheet.
