Licensing ShareWare CourseWare™

Why License?

ShareWare CourseWare™ is a new idea in self-paced training. It lets you sample a course without having to pay for it. Then, if you like the course, you can license it by purchasing a registration code. That way, you don't pay anything if you decide the course isn't for you.

Licensing a ShareWare CourseWare self-paced course costs only $10!

Lab Exercises are Locked

A ShareWare CourseWare course typically contains the following learning elements:

When you first download a course, we give you full access to the text and graphics portion of the course. You can take the course as often as you want, share with co-workers, whatever you like. However, the lab exercise documentation is not available until you license the course.

In addition, once you license a course, we will send you Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files for the lab exercise documentation. You can then print the lab documentation. Many people find it more convenient to take the labs from printed documentation than from an on-screen display.

Obtaining a Registration Code

To unlock the lab exercises, you need to purchase a registration code which you can use to license the course. To purchase the code for a particular course, click on one of the links below and follow the instructions:
