I tried that too, but I just think that something wasn't right on their 
end. Some days I would see certain configurations, and then the next day 
it was gone and then later back again. It was obvious they were changing 
things and adding extra support, but it just never worked for me.

But I do encourage you to try it. You're probably more knowledgeable 
than I am on the subject anyway, and at the least you can get a refund.
