Demo Accounts
  • How do I try HourGlass before signing-up?
    Take advantage of the HourGlass demo. Complete the sign-up form to gain access to 5 different user profiles with unique login credentials and different access privileges. You may choose to login as an administrator, a project manager or a regular employee. The demo is fully-functional and you will be able to test drive the HourGlass application in its entirety before signing-up for your personalized account that is FREE for 30 days.
  • How does the demo work?
    The fictitious Acme Corporation makes good use of HourGlass. The application is pre-populated with a full year’s worth of data. You may login as an Acme employee and make time & expense entries, assign & manage tasks, generate & export reports and modify administrative settings. Simply choose the provided login credentials after requesting access and use them to login. You will have access to all of the features and functionality of a regular HourGlass account.
  • What happens to the data entered in the demo?
    All user-generated data is reset nightly, so any data you enter will be deleted during the reset. To use and save your own company data securely in HourGlass, sign up now and use HourGlass FREE for 30 days.
  • Why do I see data I didn’t enter in the demo?
    Other users may be accessing the demo application with the same credentials and at the same time as you, so don’t be alarmed if you notice entries that you did not input.
  • How can I privately use my own company data?
    You can create your personalized account and use it FREE for 30 Days with no obligation. You should allot yourself approximately 20 minutes to enter your company information into the HourGlass set-up Wizard before you can start using the application’s personalized time & expense tracking, project management and reporting features. Only you and the people authorized by you will have access to your personalized account and information within it.

  • What is a subscription?
    HourGlass provides online access to its time tracking and project management solutions to all subscribers. The solution is hosted on our secure servers and accessed via the Internet through your standard web browser. Each person who uses HourGlass needs their own license.

    A subscription is an agreement to receive access to HourGlass services. Within a given subscription, all licenses are from the same Payment Plan (see below) and are renewed on the same date.

    All subscriptions have at least one license and include 24/7 online support, updates, archiving and best of all; no sign-up fees, no setup fees, no termination fees, no hidden costs and you can cancel at any time. Canadian customers will be billed in Canadian dollars and are subject to sales taxes, all international customers will be billed in US dollars.
  • How is my bill calculated?
    Your bill is based on the quantity of licenses and the payment plan type selected in that subscription. The Renewal Date is the date the payment will be processed. An organization may have more than one subscription and potentially more than one renewal date.
  • Is there a free period for a personalized account?
    Yes. Complete the sign-up form to create an account. We will email you instructions to activate your account. Once your account set-up is complete, you will be able to use HourGlass FREE for 30 days.
  • What happens at the end of the FREE 30-day period?
    We will notify you several times before the Free 30 day period expires. If you want to keep using HourGlass, you don’t need to do anything and you will start to be billed. If you want to cancel your subscriptions, do so before the end of the Free 30 day period and you will not be billed.
