Customer Reviews

Absolute Joke of a Router Simulation SW
The first time I used this product, I thought that I might be typing in something wrong. I then attempted to copy actual command line text into the router sim and found that half of the commands were not supported. I went online, and noticed that the majority of the most important commands were not supporte by this router sim software. I recommend that you do not purchase this software. Only purchase software that allows you to fully practice all commands. This is the only way to make sure you can obtain your CCNA and be able to apply it in the workforce. This software does not allow that at all. I am very disappointed in William Tedder's software.

The next issue was with the publisher of this software. I did not deactivate this software before attempting to reinstall it. I was told that I would need to pay $10 in order to receive a new serial number. I have already returned this product and am requesting a refund from Amazon. I am now going to carefully shop and make sure the next router sim I purchase does not have all these restrictions. It is ridiculous to pay $120, to have the majority of the commands not supported, and then to pay extra money to reactivate the product.

CCNA Virtual Lab, Titanium Edition 2.0 Review
Great product. Will help you pass these grueling CCNA test(s). Be sure to use the wondeful documentation that comes with it.

Poor customer service
While the software itself is ok the customer service & DRM is poor. The software had an error that made it difficult to troubleshoot or work with the CISCO 3650 and it took so long to resolve (and find out who was going to resolve the issue) that I passed my CCNA before the patch was issued.

The DRM is awful - while trying to move the software to another PC and following the instructions to remove & re-install the license (getting all the correct messages - no errors) I still ended up being unable to use the software on any PC as the servers said I han't uninstalled the license even though my PC said I had. Customer service just stated that they had no logs of the license removal & basically forced me to buy extra licenses to get the software to work.

I understand and accept the need for DRM and licenses but expect it to work correctly especially when I've paid a lot of money for it.
