The fact that your "AC source" does not appear to be using the precise terminology makes no difference.

Once again, MPM is not applicable to Routing-Based fares and must be disregarded.

So are you saying that the MPM information at the top of the fare box (in your previous post) is for information only, and it has no impact on the routing based fares?

KVS Tool Online Companion
 

Hi,

Can you tell me how to set up a user name and password for this please?

Also - are all functions available as for the desktop version?

Thanks.

When trying to pull up Seat Availability, I get the following message:

"The requested Method is currently unavailable.

If the reason(s) for the above error message are unclear, please visit www.KVStool to review the latest system status announcements."

Is that what this is?
[WSpan: ITN] & [Apollo: ITN] Methods Currently Unavailable 29 Jul 2010
In the meantime, elite-tier users should switch to [Sabre: ITN] or [Galileo: ETR] to ensure uninterrupted access. Further information will be posted as it becomes available.

And don't know how to use those. Only a Gold user. Options or suggestions?

Edit Note: I upgraded to Platinum and did not get credit for my remaining Gold time as per the website.

You will find your Online Companion username/password in the e-mail, which contained your membership credentials.

While the Online Companion is currently unavailable, you will soon be able to use the same username/password for the new Mobile Companion (please see the Beta sign-up link at http://www.KVSTool.com/).

This adjustment will be made once your upgrade request is fully processed, which will happen later on today.

In the meantime, you should have received your temporary Platinum-tier registration code and have immediate access to all of that level's features.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I received my Temp Authorization code. Now, exactly where do I enter that when I open the KVS Tool - or do I do that on the webpage?

Thanks.

The Tool will automatically prompt you for the Registration Code, just as soon as you try to do something that requires a higher level membership.

Alternatively, you can click the http://www.kvstool.com/Images/Keys.gif button and select Re-Register.

Thanks ..... as normal I didn't read the email ....:)

Can you indicate when the service will be available please?

Presumably I can licence my portables and desktops in the interim?

I can't connect to Awards/M&M - am getting messages 12029 (cannot connect) and 9002 (no data received). No problems with other access to other award methods or Sabre and internet connection test is fine.

There were intermittent issues with the M&M servers earlier on today, which appear to have been resolved now.

Thanks. It's back for me now.

does anyone know why the lite version was discontinued? i just saw that note there today when trying to use KVS. that's a bummer! :( any other suggestions of what tool to use for someone who can't afford to pay, and really only needs the basic levels?

It looks like the reason is that one of the free sources for availability is gone.

That is correct.
