Use of CD is restricted and limited

Good book and content, but if you plan to utilize the PDF copy on the included CD to "aid in adapting and using material for sermons, bulletins and other messages" as it says on the back cover--just save yourself some time and manually type it from the book, since the "free and searchable CD-ROM of the entire contents" is locked and restricted to reading (no cut-and-pasting allowed). Instead of the CD being a time saver--it is merely a time waster.

I returned this CD once because it wouldn't play on my computer. Though I don't intend to copy it I will look for some way to break the annoying and stupid copy-protection scheme because most of the time I listen to music while sitting at my computer.

I have been unable to install the software for this product.  That obviously limits its functionality.  The error message indicates a lack of disc space, which is not a problem for me, or "some other error".  I've heard that others have had the same problem. I would definitely not recommend this product to others.

Great book, however the cd's can stop working....I was unable to view a lesson on the cd and I'm still in chapter 7.

When attempting to watch various discs they will not play.  Get stupid message telling me that unable to do this because of disc restrictions.

Embedded DRM prevents burning Amazon.com downloaded MP3 to a CD. Digital player only.  I do not recommend these downloads for this reason.

The book was listed as having the CD but it didn't work, said that the domain was no longer available. If folks are selling or buying a book with CD be aware the manufacturer may limit the number of times you can install it.

Bought disc at the end of the year for this tax season.  I just opened it to do taxes today.  Disc has an error on it - tried to install it on two separate computers with different generations of operating systems - first windows 8.1, then windows vista.  Disc refused to install on either. I gave up trying to talk to a tech from HR after a 3 hour hold on chat.  Amazon says it's too late to return  I've used HR Block for years and don't have a issue with the program - its the service.

Player stops on practically every disc.  After re-reading, it resumes playing where it stopped.  Limited usage does not justify performance errors.  There are no authorized service centers within reasonable travelling distance.  Caveat emptor.

The Rosetta Stone application requires that the language CD be present in the harddrive, and it *continuously* spins up the CD disk while the program runs.  This unfortunate design will quickly run down your laptop batteries, making this application unsuitable for travel.  My repeated requests to Fairfield Technologies, the Rosetta Stone software company, to remedy this problem were  declined.  Considering the substantial price paid for this software, it should *behave* like software, and not a DVD.  If the application could be installed and run like normal software, it would not uselessly drain you laptop batteries.

Very nice live recording. However the physical CD has some sort of copy protection scheme going. I got skips on my car CD player. I also got total failure on two different computers, so I was not able to make a copy either. Thus I was unable to enjoy the music on the CD. I sent it back.

The cable works but the software provided by Abbot for the cable severely limits what kind of format you can use to display the downloaded data.

This was easy to attach, but the installation CD stopped at the connection to my computer and wouldn't go on. I had to work with a tech support person to get past it, so in the end, it cost me way more! Works fine now, though. Tech person said those CDs are often a problem. Had I been able to proceed with written directions it might have worked better, but they were not provided.

I worked the first time I used it, but I wanted to be able to write CD's for files way to large to send via email...Threw it away a while back b/c it refuses to work.

I received the stack of CD's, ready to get to business but most of the stack was not usable. I tried burning them on several different devices but regardless of what device I used, I could not burn data on to these things.

This Micro SDXC card is half filled with other people's files and photos. It is also write protected so I am not able to erase them or reformat the disc. Of the 64GB only 30GB is available to me. Unfortunately I did not read the description to see that it was a refurbished product, but that still doesn't mean to have it half filled. I wanted a 64gb card not a 32gb card.

Unfortunately I purchased this product before reading user reviews. Buried in a side panel on the box is a statement that the product is licensed only for one pair of computers. This is a very important fact and should be more prominently disclosed.
Fortunately I read this condition of use in the manual inside the sealed box before I opened the disk envelope.
Considering the cost of the software and apparently how marginally it performs based on other user ratings, I returned it for a refund.
