A: No. Once you have registered your EGUMPP courseware key and created a data file to store your progress and grades, you do not need to be connected to the Internet. Other times that you must be connected to the Internet are when you are uploading your EGUMPP data file to the EGUMPP website and when you are downloading your EGUMPP data file from the EGUMPP website.

A: An EGUMPP courseware key is a nineteen-character code that appears on the back of an EGUMPP registration card. A courseware key unlocks an EGUMPP module and allows you to create a data file so that you can complete all the lessons of the module. A courseware key is always included in a module package or given to a user by his or her instructor.

A: Each EGUMPP module includes a courseware key. In order to unlock an EGUMPP module, the courseware key must be registered. Prior to unlocking your first courseware key, you must create an EGUMPP user account. To create an EGUMPP user account, you must enter certain information about yourself, including a user name and a password. Your user name and password are entered each time you log into an EGUMPP module. Once the EGUMPP user account is created, the courseware key must be registered and an EGUMPP data file created. You only need to create an EGUMPP user account once, and you should use the same user name and password when registering the courseware keys for all other modules. Remember, for each new courseware key registered, you must always create a new EGUMPP data file for that module.

A: Yes. You should use the same user name and password each time you begin a new module and register its courseware key.

A: An EGUMPP data file is a computer file that stores your progress and grades as you work through an EGUMPP module. The only way to create an EGUMPP data file is to register a courseware key. After registering your key, the EGUMPP software will create your data file. You will have one data file for each module you attempt. You can store your data file in any folder or location on your computer. Each time you log in to a module to work, you will be asked to locate your data file; so you must remember where the data file is stored. When you work in a module, your data file is updated with your grades and lesson progress. Your data file can be identified by its file extension. A Module I data file will have a .gm1 file extension, a Module II data file will have a .gm2 file extension, a Module III data file will have a .gm3 file extension, and a Module IV data file will have a .gm4 file extension. To prevent the misfortune of having to restart an EGUMPP module, it is very important that you backup and/or upload your EGUMPP data file to the EGUMPP website after each time you work on an EGUMPP module.

A: Yes. You must create a new EGUMPP data file for each module that you attempt.

A: Each time you log into an EGUMPP module, you must enter your user name, enter your password, and locate your EGUMPP data file.

Back to top

A: The name of your EGUMPP data file for Module I is always your user name followed by a .gm1 file extension; for Module II, your user name followed by a .gm2 file extension; for Module III, your user name followed by a .gm3 file extension; and for Module IV, your user name followed by a .gm4 file extension. For example, if you user name is robin, your Module I data file would be named robin.gm1.

A: If you loose, damage, or delete your EGUMPP data file and you have not made a backup copy or uploaded a copy of your data file to the EGUMPP website, you must start over. However, if you remembered to upload your data file to the EGUMPP website, you can go to the "Show me how to find and download a lost data file" link for instructions to download your data file.

Back to top

A: To start over, you must recreate your data file. You must use the same user name, password, and courseware key that you used the first time you created your data file. To recreate your data file, follow these steps:

1. Start the module.
2. Click on "Skip Intro"
3. Click on "Help Me Register"
4. Read the Terms and Conditions; then click on "Accept."
5. Read the "Product Registration" directions; then click on "Next."
6. Click on "Register."
7. Enter your user name, password, and courseware key. (Remember to use the same user name, password, and courseware key as you did the first time you created a data file.)
8. 8. Click on "Register" and follow the instructions for creating your data file.

A: In order to work on an EGUMPP module on different computers, you need to have your EGUMPP data file available at school and at home.

If you have Internet access at school and at home, you can use the EGUMPP website to copy your data file to or from each location. For example, once you complete working on EGUMPP at school, you can upload your data file to the EGUMPP website; and then when you are at home, you can download your data file from the EGUMPP website to your home computer.

If you do not have Internet access both at school and at home, you can use a USB flash drive to transport your data file to or from each location. For example, once you complete working on EGUMPP at school, you can copy your data file to your USB flash drive; and then when you are at home, you can copy your data file from your USB flash drive to your home computer.

Remember, when using your data file on different computers, make certain you are always working with your latest copy. For example, if you work at home, make certain that you upload the data file to the EGUMPP website and then download this data file the next time you work at school.

1. Create an "EGUMPP Backup" folder on your computer, and copy your data file to this folder.
2. Copy your data file to a different drive or storage area such as a network drive or a USB flash drive.
