Yes — our software products are available for a free trial.

If you have a good high speed Internet connection, you can run PractiCAM here, over the Internet, right now — just select Run PractiCAM online! option from the right panel, then follow the instructions, and PractiCAM will start automatically on your screen.

You also can download and install our software (PractiCAM and/or PractiCAD) on your own computer, and evaluate it for 30 days.

If you decide to run PractiCAM online:

Make sure you have sufficient access rights for your computer to allow for a Remote Desktop Connection (if you do not know your access rights, ask your computer administrator).

Make sure you have a reasonably fast Internet connection (you will need at least DSL or a cable connection). If your connection is not very fast, you may see a delay in action, such as jerky movements during screen redraw.

Watch available online video demonstrations and read the product brochure.

Download the PractiGuide for PractiCAM and familiarize yourself with the software.

This is very important, because when you run PractiCAM online by yourself, you are on your own (unless you call us, and we walk you through the presentation — but then it would be more beneficial for you, if one of our staff members simply shows you PractiCAM in action over the WebEx.

Run the software, and use your PractiGuide to assist you in your evaluation.
