GIRVI MANAGEMENT SYSTEM — README Alankar Web Solutions Version: 1.0 (Current) ========================================= 1. INSTALLATION ========================================= - You will have purchased one of four packages: PC Installation, USB Installation (Full Version), PC Subscription, or USB Subscription. - The software is locked to ONE dedicated computer or USB drive only, using a unique fingerprint of that machine — it cannot be copied or moved to another machine. This protects your purchase from unauthorised copying, and works fully offline (no internet needed). - Run the installer provided to you and follow the on-screen steps. - On first opening the software, you'll see a "GMS License Error" screen showing a unique Activation Code — this is expected on a fresh installation. Send this Activation Code to Alankar Web Solutions on WhatsApp (+91-7060979363) along with your name and shop name; once your payment is confirmed (all charges are prepaid), we'll send back your license file the same day. - Place the license file you receive into your GMS folder as instructed, then reopen the software — it will unlock. ========================================= 2. FIRST LAUNCH ========================================= - Click Start on the software. - Login with the credentials provided to you. - The software automatically checks your license file against this computer's fingerprint before letting you in. If it shows a License Error instead (not found, not valid for this machine, or subscription expired), see section 1 above — send us the Activation Code shown on screen and we'll get you a license file. - You will land on the Home page — a white screen with your Gold, Silver and other item-category menus, an image, and Alankar branding in the footer. - On your very first use, go to Admin first and set up Add Village, Add Cast and Add Item before you start entering customer data — this is the backbone the rest of the software relies on. ========================================= 3. NAVIGATION MENU — QUICK REFERENCE ========================================= - Add Customer — pop-up entry, takes you straight to the new customer's account. - Search — Master Search, or by Village / Date / Amount / Item / Udhar, plus All Girvi and All Udhar registers. - Transaction — Girvi Transaction (In/Out with calendar), Amount Transaction (Cash In/Out, Udhar In/Out), Over Girvi, All Sale Out. - Report — Backup (see section 5 below). - Admin — Add Village, Add Cast, Add Item, All Customer. - User — Home page only. Welcome message, edit password, Setting (rates/margins), jeweller-community options, and Party Panel (Girvi transfer to another banker/financier). ========================================= 4. UPDATING TO A NEW VERSION ========================================= - Full Version (PC or USB Installation) customers: * Reinstallation/update within 1 year of your original installation date: 50% of current MRP. * Reinstallation/update after 1 year: 100% of charges, as per the prices applicable at that time. - Subscription (PC or USB) customers: * Updates are included at no extra charge for as long as your subscription is active — no reinstallation charge applies. - To update, contact Alankar Web Solutions on WhatsApp or phone and our team will guide you through the process or provide a new installer, as applicable to your package. ========================================= 5. BACKUP ========================================= - Backup works ONLY through a dedicated USB pen drive, on every version of the software — exactly as set up during your installation. Backup is a manual step you run yourself whenever you choose to — the software does not send any reminder to take one, and it runs fully offline into your own separately attached pen drive. - Alankar Web Solutions does NOT supply the pen drive — whether it's used to run the software (USB packages) or purely for backup, you (the client) provide your own pen drive. We'll tell you which spec/capacity works best for your package so it's set up correctly. - Since the pen drive is yours, its safekeeping and any replacement if it's lost, damaged or stops working is entirely your responsibility. - Keep your backup pen drive safe and take regular backups. ========================================= 6. SERVER & DATABASE RESPONSIBILITY ========================================= Once installation is complete, the responsibility for the server and database lies entirely with the client. If any issue arises with the data fed into it after installation, that responsibility rests solely with the client. This is because the server and database run on the client's own local machine and have no connection to the internet — Alankar Web Solutions, its owner, and any entity of Alankar Web Solutions have no access whatsoever to that local machine, and therefore cannot monitor, maintain or recover that database. For this reason, full and sole responsibility for the server and database rests with the client. इंस्टॉलेशन होने के बाद सर्वर और डेटाबेस की ज़िम्मेदारी पूरी तरह क्लाइंट की है। अगर उसमें फीड हुए डेटा में कोई भी दिक्कत आती है, तो उसकी ज़िम्मेदारी क्लाइंट की होगी। इसका कारण यह है कि सर्वर और डेटाबेस क्लाइंट की खुद की लोकल मशीन पर होते हैं और उनका इंटरनेट से कोई कनेक्शन नहीं होता — इसलिए Alankar Web Solutions, इसके मालिक, या इसकी किसी भी इकाई के पास उस लोकल मशीन तक कोई पहुँच नहीं होती। ========================================= 7. SUPPORT ========================================= - Phone & WhatsApp support. - Full Version customers without an active AMC: ₹800 per online visit (handled remotely from our office — no need to visit your shop in person), or an Annual Maintenance Contract at ₹1,200/year. - Subscription customers: support and updates are already included for the duration of your subscription, at no extra AMC charge.
