SMARTROOMS > Transaction Tokens License FAQ
 
1) Why is SMARTROOMS Licensed and Not Sold?

Ans: SMARTROOMS is a web-based Hotel Room Reservation software. A copy of the SMARTROOMS software is is installed on Our Web-Servers located at a Data-Center and configured under your Hotel's domain name. The web-servers are maintained by Point 2 Point Communications and all costs like annual data center costs, software license fees, bandwidth costs, server backup costs, server maintenance costs, software maintenance costs, etc... are paid by Point 2 Point Communications. Since, these costs are recurring in nature, SMARTROOMS is licensed to the Hotel and the recurring costs are recovered from setup fees, sales commissions, transaction fees and application hosting fees as long as the Hotel uses the SMARTROOMS software.

2) What Do you mean by Transaction Tokens (TTL) License. How does the SMARTROOMS reservation software work under the TTL License?

Ans: SMARTROOMS is a room reservation software that is Annually Licensed and Integrated with your Hotel's website and the entire Room Reservation process takes place under your Hotel's Website (Domain name).

Under the SMARTROOMS Transaction Tokens Annual License, YOUR hotel can sell UNLIMITED number of rooms Online. There are no transaction fees or commissions. All room bookings made through SMARTROOMS TTL are FREE.

The Steps to a successful order have been outlined below:
