Also, find out how the software is helping troubled teens in Michigan design a better future.

Non Traditional Users Stand Out in Australia - With sales up by over 120%, SoftPlan Australia has had a bench mark year.

Question:
I have a parallel port key for SoftPlan and my computer does not have a parallel port.

Although some new computers may be configured without parallel ports, there should be a USB port available. Version 11 through Version 13 utilize USB port keys. You may return your parallel port key and exchange it for a USB style key. To find out more about our return policy or to exchange a key, call the Head Office at 1-800-248-0164.
