Q: Will there be a new edition of RulesMaster Racing for the 2009-2012 Racing Rules? Will I be able to upgrade?
Yes. We are working on a new version through 2008 and will release it as soon as we can. If you purchased RulesMaster Racing after 1st January 2008 then you will qualify for a substantial discount for the new version. Just remember to keep proof of purchase.


Q: Will RulesMaster work on Windows Vista?

The following RulesMaster Products work on Windows Vista:

  • RulesMaster Pro 4
  • RulesMaster FlashCards

RulesMaster Racing and RulesMaster Pro 3 will work on Windows Vista, but only with a patch supplied by us. Note that the patch has to be created for each individual user so we have limited its availability to:

  • all licencees of RulesMaster Racing, until such time as a new version is available, and
  • individual licensees of RulesMaster Pro 3 who purchased after 1st September 2006

If you think you qualify for the free patch, please write to support@rulesmaster.com and provide your full name, your street address, and the place and date of purchase. We'll usually respond same day.



Q: I am a teacher. Can I use RulesMaster products in my classroom?
You are most welcome to use any RulesMaster product as a teaching aid. Many teachers take advantage of RulesMaster's high quality 3D graphics and animations to demonstrate important concepts, or to workshop scenarios in a class. Many classrooms are equipped with a data projector which is ideal for this purpose. Otherwise just find the biggest regular screen computer possible and ask your students to huddle up. We do respectfully ask that teachers take note of the licence agreement, which allows for one licence per installation. You should not attempt to loan or copy the product.
