Q: Where can I buy RulesMaster products?
You can buy RulesMaster products quickly and safely on-line at this website. Alternatively, you will find CD products available from most Marine booksellers. Ask for RulesMaster Pro, ISBN 0-646-41220-5, or RulesMaster Racing, ISBN 0-646-44903-6.



Q: RulesMaster Pro 4 updater.
The latest version is 4.02. If you have version 4.00 or 4.01 installed then you can download an updater at www.rulesmaster.com/updates.


Q: Should I get the CD-ROM or a Download version?
Both products are exactly the same, except for the installers. The download won't take long if you have a high speed internet connection. However if you only have a dial up connection then it is probably best to get the CD-ROM version. Note that there is a freight charge for CD-ROM shipment. Some users may find that the CD-ROM version is more convenient: after installation you can use the program immediately without a Licence Key, or you can apply for a Personal Licence Key from www.rulesmaster.com.


Q: How do I tell which version I have?
Run the program and check the title page or select Tools>About. If you have a CD product then the version number is also printed on the CD.


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.
