What Bibles come with EasyWorship? Can I add my own?
EasyWorship comes with the King James Version (KJV), American Standard Version (ASV), and Spanish version (RVA) already installed in the Scripture database. You can purchase additional versions for $29 per version. The following versions are available: New King James (NKJV), New International Version (NIV), Amplified Version (AMP), New American Standard 95 Update (NASB), New Living Translation (NLT), and Spanish (RVR). We cannot offer Bible versions for free because they are copyrighted. The Versions are actually in the software, but when purchased, we will give you an additional registration code which you will key into the registration field that will turn them on. You cannot add your own Bible versions at this time; however, we plan to offer additional Bible translations in the future.  Top

What is CCLI?
Christian Copyright Licensing International licenses your church to display songs and gives you a number to display on your screen. This way you do not have to pay royalties to the song owner; CCLI does that for you. In EasyWorship, in the LIVE/OPTIONS/COPYRIGHTS menu, there is a field where you type the CCLI number once and it appears in each song that is copyrighted. You can edit the location, text, color, etc. of this number.  Top

Does EasyWorship support languages other than English?
EasyWorship currently only partially supports two byte character text such as Chinese, Japanese, etc. Such text will appear left justified, not centered. EasyWorship is only available in an English version. However, it does come with the Spanish Bible (RVA) and it provides the ability to enter English characters into foreign language text. Multi-language support is planned for the next version of EasyWorship.  Top

Is there a recommended graphics card for EasyWorship?
We recommend any nVidia brand Dual Output card with at least 64MB of video memory. You might look at "BFG Technologies" Overclocked cards. The ATI Radion 9700 will also work. All other cards need to have 128 MB of video memory. (See Computer Requirements)  Top

How can I determine which graphics card I have?
Right click on your desktop, click Properties, then click Settings. In this window click Advanced, then click the Adapter Tab. All of your video card ( adapter ) information will appear in this window. (Depending on your version of Windows, this procedure may differ slightly.)  Top

You simply click the PPT icon in the EasyWorship schedule area and select the PowerPoint file from your Windows files and folders or drives. EasyWorship will load the presentation and display each slide in the set.  Top

How can I add songs?
