Started LACE in the office, took it home and registration code doesn't work. What gives?
What you will have to do is 'Enable Mobility Training' on each computer after you install it -- this will allow you to add the software onto a 2nd computer (and 3rd, and so on).
To do this... Install LACE -- and get to the point where it says 'Welcome to Lesson 1' (or whatever lesson you are on). Once you are this point, click on the MENU button in the lower left, click on SETTINGS, then click on MOBILITY. You will want to ACTIVATE MOBILITY TRAINING, and this will allow the code to be used on the 2nd computer.
Repeat the steps above on each computer you want to install LACE on. Each computer will synchronize when you begin training, meaning that it will start you where you left off on another computer.

Can multiple people use the same copy of LACE?
Yes! With the release of LACE 4 HE (Home Edition), you and two others may use the same copy of LACE. One registration code is included with every copy of LACE, so you will need an additional registration code to add each new user. Registration codes may be ordered at our Secure Web Store

Why can't I understand the first sentences?
During the first session, the system is testing your hearing at three different volume levels in order to gain information about your starting threshold. Do not get discouraged. In later sessions, the software will be more closely trained to your specific tolerances.
Why does the volume level change while using LACE?
In the initial session LACE is testing your hearing at three different volume levels in order to gain information about your hearing threshold. In later sessions the software will be more consistent, but expect to be tested in both louder and softer environments.
Can I continue to use LACE once I complete the initial 20 sessions?
LACE consists of 20 sessions, which are 30 minutes each.
Should you decide to continue to use LACE after the 20 sessions, simply upgrade to LACE 4. LACE 4 allows for unlimited and continued training past the initial 20 sessions.

How does LACE improve my hearing?
LACE does not improve your hearing. LACE can improve your listening skills. LACE is an interactive program that helps build listening and communication skills to compensate for hearing loss.
How many lessons are on the DVD version of LACE?
The DVD version of LACE includes 10 lessons. The lessons can be repeated for continued training after the initial training is completed.
Why does my DVD repeat the same question multiple times?
The DVD version of LACE uses advanced technology and coding that sometimes has problems on certain DVD players. This problem occurs when the LACE DVD is incompatible with the DVD player that the individual is trying to use. If you have another DVD player, you should try that one, otherwise, you should use the computer version. We apologize for this inconvenience. Please contact us to help resolve your specific issue.
LACE is unable to connect to the Internet. How can I fix this?
When LACE is prevented from contacting the internet, there are two general possibilities:
Firstly, the registration process may be hampered by the existence of a firewall. Whether the firewall is a local firewall on a single computer or a corporate firewall surrounding an entire network, the solution is to add LACE to the list of excepted programs, granting it internet access.
Firewalls may be installed in various places on your network. They are commonly found in most Anti-Virus software packages and also on home routers or modems. Please refer to your specific firewall instructions to add LACE to the list of excepted programs, granting it internet access.
The second possibility is the existence of a proxy server, by which the user is connecting to the internet. Since with a proxy, the LACE program is not feeding and receiving the registration information directly back to the LACE server, the program standardly assumes that it does not have access to the internet. LACE does however have a setup for proxy users. Here are the steps to registering LACE through your proxy:
1. Run LACE.
2. Before entering your registration number, click MENU.
3. Click SETTINGS.
4. Click CONNECTION.
5. Click CHANGE.
6. Enter the proxy IP address and click NEXT.
7. Enter the proxy Port number and click NEXT.
8. Do not enter a Proxy User Name. Click NEXT.
9. Do not enter a Proxy Server Password. Click Next.
Your screen should read:
You have set LACE to connect to the internet via a proxy server with these settings:
Host: (ip adress), Port: (#)
User name: (name), Password: (password)
If you need to change or remove proxy server settings press "CHANGE."
Press "NEXT" to return to the settings menu.
10. Click NEXT to return to the Settings Menu.
11. Click NEXT to return to the Main Menu.
12. Click RESUME to resume LACE
13. Proceed with Registration as normal.
