Downloads for Software and White Papers

Information is important which is why Open Archive provides it for free. We understand the need for you to protect your privacy and control the distribution of your email address. And we understand what is necessary to make informed decisions. That is why we do not require registration for you to try our software. We believe that we have solutions that will work for you!

So feel free to read our papers and try our software, if you like what you see, have questions, and/or want to purchase full versions, give us a call at 603-890-9980 or send us an email at info@openarchive.com and we'll be happy to help you out. We can also provide online Web demos for all of our software solutions.

Below are links to information and products you can download. Under each software title is a brief explanation of the trial version so you will know what functionality is operative and what will be activated by purchasing the full version. There is also a link if you want to read more information about that product before you start the download.

The REnew Series

rasterREnew - raster editing software. The trial version contains full functionality of the raster editing and image clean up tools but has limited capability in batch processing and no file saving.

rasterREnew Info

Batch REnew - Split, name and route scanned files with barcode recognition, folder watching and batch processing. The trial is a fully functioning version of Batch REnew Pro but stamps "Batch REnew Trial Software" on every page.

Please note that Batch REnew requires .NET Framework 2.0. You can check your .net framework by going to Start/Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs and you will see Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 or 2.0. If it is 1.1, download an update from the Microsoft website by following the link below. If you already have 2.0, you are all set. The .NET Framework version 2.0 improves scalability and performance of applications with improved caching, application deployment and updating with ClickOnce, support for the broadest array of browsers and devices with ASP.NET 2.0 controls and services.
