be deleted and re-used
indefinitely. Compatible

are using Mac OS X).
FAQ’s about
“consumable” Home
User versions of
Earobics
When
the "two pupil"
sections have been
used up, can they
still make any use
of the software?
Once
the two students
complete the
program, there is no
re-use of the
product.
Does
the guest feature
allow a student to
go through the whole
programme and save
their progress, just
like to other two
users?
Yes, it
does, but there is
not provision to
monitor progress
like the two
student's.
Clinicians
versions: Suitable for
specialist literacy
tutors, speech and
language therapists,
SENCO’s, Teachers of
the Deaf, SPELD,
RTLB's et. The
Clinicians version
covers everything in
the Family version
plus has additional
professional
management features.
Each version is for
up to 13 (12 +
guest) students but
can be reused as
each student
completes the course
so it is not an
expendable product.
It is excellent
value as there are
no ongoing licence
renewal fees.

it can only be used
on one computer at a
time and is not able
