- Apple iPad® (iOS version 5.0 or higher)
- Windows® PC desktop or laptop (Windows XP, 7, 8, or 10)
With both platforms available, which should you install first? The Apple iPad package – as you cannot unlock the power of the Windows package until you have purchased the iPad package from the Apple Store (the Windows version comes free with your iPad application purchase).
BizNotes for Apple iPad® (iOS)
The most common device to use with BizNotes is the iPad as that is the most portable system for taking business notes. Unlike the Windows package that can (and should be) downloaded from this site for free, you can only obtain BizNotes for the iPad from the iOS (Apple) App Store.
We highly recommend you install BizNotes on the iPad before installing the Windows package.

BizNotes on the Windows PC is a free companion to your iPad version. To unlock the full functionality, you should complete the following steps in order:

What if you install the Windows version first just to try it out – will it still work? The answer is yes, but with a number of limitations:
- Cannot set up and activate your account on the BizNotes server; this can only be done via the iPad
- Unable to import or export your notes
- Does not allow the help folder, topics and notes to be deleted
- Unable to print notes
- Cannot e-mail your notes
- Only allows a limited number of new notes to be created
