Q. How long is my purchase good for?
A. When you buy FAA written test prep software from us, this include LIFETIME FREE UPGRADES. What this means is that should newer versions of the test questions or software that we provide become available, you will be welcome to download them at no additional charge. However, there is a catch: when you purchase this software, it is for your own, personal use only. You may NOT share this with friends, etc. Please direct such people to purchase their own copy! We hope you find this tradeoff to be fair - in exchange for lifetime free upgrades, you agree not to share this software inappropriately. Free upgrades means that in the future you can use this software to review or brush up.
   
Q. How does the purchase process work?
A.
  • First, select a variant above and click on the corresponding 'buy now' button. This will take you to our secure order screens.
  • Next, complete the online purchase process. There are several ways of ordering via the secure e-commerce servers of SWREG, the company that handles orders for us. Most people purchase online with a credit card - this is in practice HIGHLY secure and in many years of doing business, there have been ZERO problems with this (SWreg's specialty is online software sales - they do a very good job). However, if you are uncomfortable with this or want to pay using an alternate means (check / PayPal, etc), SWreg will accept that, too. Simply start the order process online (choose the product, fill in the details on the page after that), and then before you go to payment, you will have a choice of many alternate payment methods.
  • After you have completed the order process, your unlock code will arrive in your email inbox. Use this unlock code to transform the version of the software that you downloaded into the fully working version.

The whole process, start to finish, takes only a few minutes. You can be studying for your test with no restrictions in just a few moments!
