You may purchase all 60 lessons at one time, or in individual 12-lesson blocks. The CDROM-60 will install purchased lessons on a single computer using an Authorization Code obtained from Veejer Enterprises. This Authorization Code is only valid for one computer installation. To install the same CDROM-60 on another computer requires a new Authorization Code purchased at the selling price. CDROM-60 must be inserted into the original computer's CDROM drive to view and print the lessons after purchase. DO NOT LOSE OR DAMAGE THE CDROM-60. The CDROM-60 cannot be replaced at no charge. Veejer Enterprises is not responsible if your computer crashes or you replace your computer in the 5 year active life of the CDROM-60. In these cases a new Authorization Code must be purchased which provides a new 5-year active life and new permissions to print 3 sets of lessons.

The CDROM-60 allows printing up to three copies of each lesson. Please read PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS on the CDROM-60 to avoid mistakes in printing lessons. Veejer Enterprises is not responsible for mistakes made trying to print lessons that use up all available print permissions on the CDROM-60.

The CDROM-60 will remain active for 5 years from date of installation. After 5 years the CDROM-60 will turn OFF. A new Authorization Code can be purchased for an additional 5 years of CDROM-60 operation and permission to print three more sets of lessons.
