User questions & answers

Question:	Do i need an internet connection to use the software
Answer:	Yes, you have a user name and password and log in. Hope this helps.
Question:	Does this work with Windows
Answer:	Yes, I bought it about 1 month ago for my wife. It does work well, without any problems so far.
Question:	How do you add 'friends'? I bought this so that my daughter and I could get better at keyboarding, but I can't figure out how to add her as a friend
Answer:	Hey Man. It's a little weird, but you need to sign out and then make a new profile for her. If I remember, she will need her own email address. Then, just sign out who ever is currently using and then sign in other user. Awesome program. Very, very happy with it. Be sure to user training with the library for each session as it gives more practice sessions. Good luck.
Question:	does this expire or is this permanent
Answer:	I was under the impression that this was permanent and I believed that until I attempted to use the software today. One quick chat with support and I was informed that the software expired. It works great when it works but if you find similar software that does not expire I would go with that instead.
