Does anyone know what are the recommended and minimum PC specs for SCT Advantage lll software? And how is the software loaded to the PC? Is it via download, USB, or DVD? Asked SCT, but they still haven't gotten back to me.



Edit: I see this should have gone elsewhere. Sorry.

I searched and couldn't find anything, either. Looking at their website, it looks like it may require a USB dongle to run. Not sure if the software is actually loaded from this as well, or if it's just required to unlock it and run the software.

You may be better off calling during their normal hours. I sent them an email, and didn't get a response after several weeks. I messaged them again, just to see if they'd reply, and I finally got a response after 2-3 weeks the second time. If you need the information soon, you'll probably get further with a phone call. Good luck!

Yeah, seems like the next step is calling them. Was curious because I'm considering a new laptop/convertible, and needed to know whether I need a DVD drive or not. I believe the SCT USB dongle is just a software key though. Would assume  the software is downloaded via email link, cause updates via disc or USB only wouldn't make much sense.

I would've just called SCT instead of emailing them, they are pretty accessible via phone.

Awesome. That's what I was thinking and hoping for. Thanks for your input! :thumbsup:
