Professional vs Standard Edition
There are two editions of SpreadsheetConverter, Standard and Professional. The Professional edition caters for the extra needs of professional web authors and developers - and quite a few power users as well.
The Professional Edition allows you to redistribute your webpage outside your own organization, it supports more functions and more chart types. It also includes a six-month license for the Advanced Submit Service, a form-to-Inbox service that e-mails all submitted forms directly to your Inbox or saves them in a database. The email looks just like the web form the visitor filled in.

1) You need the SpreadsheetConverter program only when you perform the actual conversion from spreadsheet to web page format. You need one license for each PC on which you install the program to perform such conversions.
2) Version 5 generates charts when converting for HTML, Flash and ASP.NET, and for all Excel versions. Version 4 generates charts only for HTML output, and only with Excel 2003 or earlier versions.
3) Non-programmers might need help when installing the generated ASP.NET or Java/JSP pages on their web server.
