Welcome! This is the place to buy lab licenses for our test prep products. By "lab license" we mean that you have a number of fixed PCs in a public place such as a FBO/Flight School common area, classroom, computer lab, or so forth, and you want
clients/students to be able to walk up to them, sit down, and study away. Our pricing for this is highly competitive, since, unlike our competitors, we charge per PC, not per student.
Only our GroundSchool FAA Knowledge (Written) test prep apps are available for lab / site license purchase at this time. If your organization is interested in similar licensing for one of our other product families, please reach out to us via our helpdesk.
You probably have some questions about this, so be sure to check out our Lab / Site License Frequently Asked Questions at the bottom of this screen or our complete FAQ to learn more about our products in general. If you can't find
what you're looking for, don't worry, help is at hand! Our team is standing by to help you via our online helpdesk.

Lab / Site License Questions (General)
Please watch the video above to learn about our site/lab license offerings.
A lab/site license lets you run our FAA test-prep apps on multiple fixed Windows PCs at your organization—an easy, low-cost way to give students and clients access.
PCs available for walk-up use (e.g., computer labs, classrooms, FBO/flight-school lobbies, or school-owned laptops loaned to students). Machines can be in different rooms or campuses; one license can cover all if you buy enough seats.
Lab seats can also cover instructor/staff office PCs, though individual licenses may be more cost-effective for those users.
Our GroundSchool FAA test preps feature great tools to help students and instructors connect. Student monitoring and tracking is built in and free. Key to this is our www.TestPrepStatus.com website. In addition to letting you see the results of study sessions, it provides a number of
statistics and moving averages that provide a meaningful picture of student activity, strong/weak areas, actual-test readiness, and more.
If you're a student, you can use this to see your own progress as you study.
If you're an instructor or school, you can monitor student progress, organize students into folders/classes, and more.
If you happen to be both a student and an instructor simultaneously, you can make use of both sets of features at the same time.
If you're a school, any or all of your instructors can log in to monitor student progress.
Progress monitoring at our TestPrepStatus.com site works via a permission mechanism - either the
student can request that an instructor monitor their progress or an instructor can request to monitor a student's progress an the requested party must agree. Nothing is done without your permission.
This system is completely free for instructors, students, and schools. It works on all GroundSchool platforms (a few iOS apps have, at the time of this writing, slightly limited support for this) and work regardless of whether our apps were purchased individually, via bulk organizational purchase, or via site/lab license.
For users of our GroundSchool FAA knowledge test preps, the answer is 100% YES. Student progress tracking is built-in and free. It's built in and free regardless of whether your student is using our prep in a lab under a site/lab license at your location, on our app on a mobile device, or on their PC/Mac at home. As long as they are logged into either a lab account or a free dauntless cloud account (any user can create this themselves - it's free and in some cases is done totally transparently), then you can track them. You can track individual students or whole classes.
You can track student progress by subject area. This allows you to zero in on their strong and weak areas.
You can see how regularly they are studying
You can see their scores on simulated tests
The system provides you with a series of moving averages to help you visualize their progress better; these are provided both raw and 'smoothed' so that 'bad luck' on questions plays less of a factor in getting a picture of your student's progress.
Yes, you can organize students into folders / classes, mark past students 'inactive', and so forth.
The best way to see it work is to give it a try yourself TestPrepStatus works fine in demo mode:
Visit www.TestPrepStatus.com and set up an instructor account. Totally free.
Then, you need to link a student account with an instructor account. There are two ways to do this: If you've just created an account on testprepstatus and have no other connection to the prep, the easiest way to do this is to use the 'invite' feature there to invite a 'demo' student that you might have created so that you can see how it works (or, if you have a real student with you, you can try that too!). This is the 'instructor initiated' way of doing it. There's also a 'student initiated' way within the individual apps (usually on the 'test results' screen) where the student can request an instructor to monitor their progress. This way, the system is permission based, as is naturally required.
As the student studies, their scores will be sent up to the TestPrepStatus.com system at the end of each session. As an instructor, you can log in to TestPrepStatus.com from wherever you are and see how they are doing.
Please note that TestPrepStatus.com is currently only connected to our FAA Knowledge Test preps. If you are reading this and are interested in this service for our other test preps, please let us know.
They can buy their own copy for the platform they prefer—or you can provide these to them through our
bulk purchase options.
When they sign in with the same Dauntless Cloud Account used on your lab PCs, progress syncs seamlessly across devices.
We do not share, give, or sell your or your students’ data to third parties for marketing—ever.
Provide individual licenses (also available in bulk). These are lifetime and tied to the person.
Let instructors use any lab-licensed PC or use a lab license seat on their office PC.
Instructors may purchase their own Mac/Android/iOS apps.
Your instructors might not necessarily need to use the app itself. Some instructors get by just by monitoring their student progress at TestPrepStatus.com. This does not require any purchase whatsoever.
One year. You choose the start date. We typically enable access a few weeks early for installation/testing. Please don’t use it for regular study before the start date. Licenses renew annually; you can cancel any time. Site licenses are non-returnable once purchased.
Windows PCs only (no Mac, Chromebook, Android, or iOS) with internet access for authentication, syncing, and updates. In secured networks, your IT team may need to assist with installation/configuration.
Update: Some highly locked-down networks may need an alternate build we provide to lab/site customers. If you hit permission issues, try the alternate download version. instead which is tuned for secure networks.
Per device. If you have 20 PCs—even if 10 run mornings and 10 run afternoons—you need 20 seats. You may reassign seats when hardware is permanently replaced or retired (not to shuttle seats between active labs by semester).
Intent matters: moving seats due to a planned lab relocation is fine; reinstalling each term to avoid buying enough seats is not.
Bundles reflect common requests and are priced accordingly—even if you don’t use every included test group. Larger customers needing a custom mix: please contact us.
No. Uninstall on the old PC, then install/activate on the new one. This covers normal hardware refreshes—not creative ways to rotate limited seats across many active machines.
There’s no lab-specific demo, but you can try the single-user Windows demo at www.FAAtest.com (about 5% of questions). It’s a great way to confirm fit and compatibility before purchasing.
Usually no, but secured/corporate environments may require an admin for initial setup or activation so lab PCs see the global license. Deployment steps vary by organization; involve your IT team. If you hit roadblocks, our helpdesk can advise.
Update: If strict security policies block normal installs, try the alternate download version. instead which is tuned for secure networks.
After payment, you’ll receive an email with a site-license keycode. Activating the Windows demo with this key enables site-license mode. Need help? See our unlock help wizard.
Download the Windows demo from www.FAAtest.com. Activate it with your site-license keycode to unlock the full version. Future content and occasional app updates come through the app. If you have trouble getting the version from above to run on your network, try the alternate download version. instead which is tuned for secure networks.
We automate sales and fulfillment, keep pricing accessible for schools, and see additional value when some lab users also buy personal copies. Everyone wins.
Quantities are “up to.” If you have 85 PCs and see 75 or 100, choose 100 for headroom and flexibility. You will not be overpaying a cent since the pricing is based on the bottom figure.
You can if you have enough seats, but individual licenses are often better for long-term staff: they never expire and can be installed on that person’s multiple personal PCs. Note: individual licenses are not transferable once activated and may require IT help in secured environments.
B2B Purchase Questions: methods, purchase orders, tax, etc.
We use FastSpring, a large and well-regarded merchant-of-record, to process orders. They accept credit/debit cards, wire transfers, purchase orders, and more on our behalf.
The checkout page shows the options available for your location and order size; EU and North American customers usually see the most choices.
Orders are delivered instantly for credit and debit card purchases. For other payment methods other than purchase order, orders are delivered
once payment is received and processed. For purchase orders, see the next question.
Yes. we generally gladly accept purchase orders from stable companies and educational institutions, at our discretion. We do not
accept purchase orders from individuals. To pay by purchase order, select "Invoice" at checkout.
All purchase orders are manually reviewed by our team - usually this takes no more than one business day and you can contact us via our helpdesk
to expedite this if needed. Once you have submitted your PO/invoice request and we have accepted it, the contract will have been made and your company/organization
will now have a firm obligation to pay for the codes received. Unless otherwise discussed, you will receive your purchased activation codes / digital items
immediately once your purchase order has been accepted, even before payment has been submitted. The full terms of sale are available during the checkout
process, but generally are NET30 or NET60. We kindly request (but do not insist) that purchase orders only be used for relatively large orders and that small
orders be placed via credit/debit card if possible.
Start a bulk or site-license checkout and proceed to the pricing stage; you’ll usually see a “Quote” button to generate a formal quote in your currency (taxes/discounts included).
Prices can change without notice, so quotes aren’t guaranteed. Planning a large order and need a hold? Contact us and we’ll work with you.
We use FastSpring, a trusted eCommerce merchant-of-record, to process orders for us, so your order will technically be from FastSpring, not from Dauntless. Because FastSpring is well known and used by many companies, it could be that your organization may already has them listed as an approved vendor.
If you are exempt by law from paying sales tax or if you have paid tax/vat for which you are not liable for or by law cannot pay, please read this entire message as there is guidance for you
in the box at bottom. TLDR-click here.
Orders are processed for us by a well known third-party merchant services company, FastSpring. They act as our payment processor and merchant partner (the "merchant of record"). They do great work in taking
payment in various forms, fulfilling digital orders promptly, and keeping transactions safe and secure for all of us. We (the pilots and programmers of Dauntless) don't
actually see customer credit card numbers or other financial data connected to order and technically your purchase is from them, not from Dauntless.
This works out well, since it allows us to concentrate our efforts on doing what we do best - making great apps and aviation products.
Our merchant partner processes payments for thousands of online merchants, including some larger ones such as Symantec.
Because of their size and scope, Our merchant partner has a number of US States and a few European countries. They collect tax/vat only in those locations where their physical presence or other laws require it.
Nobody obviously has any motivation to charge you sales tax other than to comply with law, and they structure their businesses to the extent possible to minimize this burden for themselves and our mutual customers.
However, FastSpring must comply with tax rules where required by law. This is why you may see sales tax applied to your order.
You might not be liable for sales tax if you are able to pay with certain payment methods or from certain locations.
For example, you might legally avoid paying tax/vat if you purchase using methods from a state or country where FastSpring is not currently obligated to collect sales tax.
Due to pressures from various tax authorities, it may not always be sufficient to simply have even a legitimate billing address outside of the domain in which you are being taxed.
Some countries and regions compel our merchant partners are compelled to collect VAT or Tax even based on things such as IP address. Again, this is totally outside of our hands -
please contact the merchant partners involved directly in this. It brings us no joy that you are taxed and of course we wish you weren't as it only increases your net costs.
Where it is safe and legal to do so (the specifics likely vary country to country) you might be able to avoid this issue in some cases by using a 'remote access' system or VPN of some sort of make it
appear that you are in a country other than you are currently in. We do not encourage the use of such systems where it is not lawful to do so, but in places where it is this may be an option for you.
Fast! Card payments are usually fulfilled ("you'll get your activation keycodes") immediately. Most purchase orders are, at our discretion, "fulfilled upon acceptance", which means
that you'll get your keycodes as soon as we approve your PO request, which is usually within one business day and normally BEFORE you pay. That said, we "fulfill upon acceptance" PO orders for existing customers in good standing and for known/established larger clients. However, in some cases, orders for smaller and/or new clients may be "fulfilled upon payment", which means that your keycodes will be delivered electronically once payment is received. In all cases, submission of a PO request represents your firm commitment to pay for the ordered products.
If you've submitted a PO request, you can check its status at the FastSpring support portal.
Important Platform Notice! This purchase is NOT FOR iPhone/iPad, NOT FOR Android/Chromebook, and NOT FOR Mac!!!
The products above are for Microsoft Windows PC only. If you want them for a different platform, such as Mac, iPhone/iPad, or Android please return to the product pages and make sure you select versions appropriate for your desired platform.
