Why do I offer downloads and CDs of the lessons?
To keep from charging for web access to the lessons! The site has gotten more popular than my pocketbook can afford! All products have the same content as the web site. It's just more convenient to have it all on your own computer. Plus, the download and CD versions do not show ads.

Warning: A download will be active for only 2 days (48 hours) or 3 attempts, whichever comes first!! If you order the Extended Download Warranty, you can reset a download yourself. I can reset the downloads if you have difficulties. Email me and include your order number. Several attempts may not be enough if you have connection difficulties.
Secure online ordering with a credit card:
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover
Can also pay over the phone, by credit card in a fax, by check or money order, by wire transfer (large orders).

License for Classroom use: Complete the Permissions Form to use the materials with your class. With permission, a teacher may install the purchased course materials onto the computers in one classroom or computer lab and on one personal computer outside of the class. (See above for info on ordering CDs or a license to copy CDs for your students.)
Email me if you have other questions about
licensing or unusual situations.
What's New lists site changes and version releases. There is usually some delay before changes on the live site are available in the download and on the CD to allow for error reports and the complex process of removing the ads and other setup issues. The download and CD are updated immediately after major changes but not after minor corrections and updates.
Languages: To get the same lessons in both English and Spanish requires two separate orders.
Teachers/instructors: For a free license to use my materials with your students, please read the Permissions page and complete the Permissions Form. This will get you into my database. This is needed whether or not you purchase a download or CDs.
