No worries, we can supply you with a download link to the latest version of the software. (Approximately 80Mb). All you need to do is download and install the software then pop in your licence key provided in the kit.
I have more than one Mac, can I install the software on all of them?
The Olympus software is sold as a single install licence. So officially no, if you want to use the software on an additional Mac you will need to purchase another licence key. You can still share the pedal and headset between computers so no need to buy another kit. Just ask us for the price for an additional licence.

The only difference is the software. The Olympus AS-7000 transcription kit comes with the Olympus AS-7002 transcription module software. Transcription module is Windows software and is more expensive that the Mac transcription software.
