Good Program Bad support Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Program works just fine but their support policy / lifetime upgrade is crap. I Used the program to get my tech license this past march.

I'm now ready to start studying to upgrade to General except for 1 little problem. Had a crash a while back. My old unlock key is no longer valid with the newer version.

I was Issued a new key for the newer version about a year or so ago which was lost with my system failure.

SWREG cannot find my info to validate my purchace and re-issue the NEWER unlock key even though I still have my origional key issued at time of purchase along with my origional address and what I believe to have been my e-mail address at the time of purchase.

Been trying to get this resolved since sept. and all I get is "sorry" replys.....

Great Training Tool ... Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
The software is easily configurable for progressive levels of testing to each individual's own liking.
Everything is there plus future question pool updates when they become available.
This software is an excellent tool especially when used with W5YI/WB6NOA test preperation guides (those are good for their clear explanations regarding some of the more complex questions).
Well worth the price of admission!

Great Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Been a ham for 14 years now. A General for 7. Saw the review for five by five about 3 weeks ago. Decided to give it a try! I'm now passing the test with a eighty or better. Very nice software. Hope to take my real test soon.

Top Notch Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Excellent software package that allowed me to pass my Extra with only about 3 weeks of study. It actually has a method of tracking wrong answers and drilling you on them more heavily. Plus the package has all of the FCC commercial license question pools that it test you on also. Fully configurable to present the tests in any method that you prefer.

Almost perfect Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I have been using this software for a week now to get ready for the Extra written exam and thanks to the software I think I am about ready. The online versions of this software are great but this one has more options and I can make it work exactly as I would if I had designed this software myself. BTW I found a two or three questions that referenced the wrong diagram. (you will know which is wrong when you see it as the referenced items in the questions aren't shown in the diagram)
