Can I trial the program? 
Yes. When you receive the installation CD, install the program in the normal manner and then start the program. As the program starts, it checks to see if you have a Rules of the Road dongle installed on your computer. If the dongle is missing, the program will run in trial mode with some of the program's options disabled and a small sample of the 800+ questions.
If you decide to purchase the program, we will send you a dongle which activates all the program features, including 800+ questions.
What is a dongle?
1. A dongle is a device used to protect applications and data against unauthorized usage or duplication.
2. Videotel dongle's attach to your computer’s parallel port (printer port).
3. A dongle attached to a parallel port will not interfere with printers or other peripheral devices connected to the port via the dongle, see below.
4. If you are using more than one dongle, link them together.
