Frequently Asked Questions - Ten Thumbs Typing Tutor
- I'm having problems downloading the program. What can I do?
We suggest you try again, possibly at different times of day. Sometimes this problem spontaneously resolves itself. Try using a different browser if you have the option.
- My trial copy of the program says it has expired, even though I've only just started using it. Where's my 10 days free trial?
The trial is either for 10 days or until you have learned one third of the keyboard, whichever occurs sooner. The Ten Thumbs program starts the countdown as soon as you open it after installing. So if you install it, glance at it, then forget about it for a fortnight, when you come to try it out it will have expired. In this situation, if you delete all trace of the program from your computer, then redownload it and install it again your free trial period will be restored.
