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.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does program allow you to learn and practice punctuation and function kesy of computer keyboard
Answer:	Yes you can set your program and go back if you need practice. It’s an excellent program
Question:	Can this program be used by multiple users? For example, my daughter and I
Answer:	Yes, you both can have separate accounts on the same computer. Basically different saving points. The download key isn’t transferable though so it’s going to be on the same computer.
Question:	Can I use this program on multiple computers
Answer:	Yes, as long as you use the same email address. I have it on my desk top and laptop
Question:	does the software expire after completing the course
Answer:	I go over all the classes/courses, over and over again. You have 5 choices when you open it up, so I number each of them, 1, 2, 3, 4, + 5. I finish all the courses, courses, tests, lessons, etc, and then when I am finished I go to 2 and do the same thing, and onward when I am done with opening up 5, I go back to #1. If you really want to get good in keyboarding, you will have to do this, over and over again. Individual typing tutor is the only one that you can do this with, as the other typing tutors will bog you down. You must start again as a beginner, and work your way through the lessons. If you get to a point, you and always work from that point, you will never get back to the important lessons beginning lessons. This is a great typing tutor for it has the basic, but it has different plans. To get very good at keyboarding, it is practice, practice and practice, and always go for accuracy for 101% of the time. If you want to go for speed than do that 0% of the time. If you go always for accuracy, your speed will improve naturally, and on its own, and speed is nothing without accuracy. My goal is to keyboard at 100 words per minute, and with 100 % accuracy. When you write, it is like you are corralling the thoughts and word flow in your mind, into writing presentation using your skills acquired and acquiring from the typing tutor. I hope that this is helpful to you. Don’t look at the typing tutor and the keyboard as just plain old things, look at them as combo, something like a musical instrument. I hope that this is helpful to you. The license does not expire.
