I have seen a product on a website in the UK where you can buy almost anything, Begins with E
The product is a family tree maker with a subscription for 3 months to a certain website Begins with A
To use this product am I right in thinking that you DO Not have to be on line to use it, As my better half thinks you do, could you please enlighten me before I make the purchase, Women always know best and I do not argue
Please move this thread to the correct place if it wrongly inserted

many thanks

George

Hi George, yes I think it is a package for family trees . You do not have to follow up with the subs to A******y. I think it is above board,You can buy them in computer shops etc. I have got a FTM 2006 it is ok. Yes I think you have to download to your computer and so have to be on the computer - but not on the internet touse it. [well I think so]

Kind Regards

George,
You do not have to be online to use it, but I think you have to activate it on line. After that it works happily off line.

Hello everyone

With ref. to this product a question has arose, I am now informed that although you get 3 months free ?? access to a certain website, someone has now told me that I have to activate it with a credit card and contracted to an extra 9 months, Could anyone enlighten me on this situation please

Kind Regards

George

No, you (I think need to activate the software online.) BUT you do NOT need to give credit card details UNLESS you want to use the website. By not linking to the website subscription service, you do not get any hints. The website 'hints' at possible records for people on your tree. These can be very useful, or a complete red herring!

Thank you Brian
So am I correct in saying that 3 months access are free, to a certain site and comes with the package,

George,
There is the option of contacting the seller and asking if this is so and opening a dispute if the product is not as described. What you are getting with this product it seems is a free 3 months subscription providing you then agree to take out a further 9 month sub.
Even with a free introductory offer to such sites one needs to enter details of bank card but with A******* one may cancel at any time- usually.
BUT do you want to then have to pay for a further nine months sub... and if you don't then don't buy it. But do ask the seller first.
Regards
Lola

Thank you Lola

That seems to have cleared that up, I think I was at cross purposes with the person who was going to order it for me back in the UK, I do want to enrol for any extension on the time,

Thanks again

George
