My trial expired before it was supposed
to. What happened?
We evaluate requests for trial account extensions on a case-by-case basis. The
clock can be reset, but we can only do so for certain reasons. Please email us
at support@browsercam.com for more
details.

Is the trial full featured?
No. The free trial does not include the Remote Access service. Access to some
resource-intensive capture features, such as Full Screen Capture, is also
restricted. For the Screen Capture Service you will have 24 hours maximum from
the time you click the emailed activation link, so don't click it until you're
ready to use it. After 24 hours or 200 captures (whichever comes FIRST), no
additional captures can be produced, although you may still view your captures.
In order to take additional captures, you should register as a paid BrowserCam
customer.

I never got the activation email?
Our automated message might have wound up in your computer's spam folder. If you
send us an email at support@browsercam.com
we'll look it up and send it to you.

My account was placed on hold.
Accounts are placed on-hold automatically when your credit card is declined or
when a user chooses to place their account on hold. If your account has been
placed on hold automatically, updating your payment info will usually clear the
account and release the hold. If that doesn't do it, please email us at
billing@browsercam.com . Accounts that have been placed on hold retain
their captures for 180 days.

What happens when I close my account?
First off, no matter what, you are always welcome back. When you close your
account, all your captures, all your account info and all your payment info is
deleted right then. This cannot be undone by you or by customer service.
Therefore, we recommend that if you are not likely to use your account for an
extended period of time that you place your account on hold rather than closing
it.
