FAQs
When can I have access to the materials once I’ve purchased my license?
Pretty much immediately. During the sign up process, you will be able to choose the license start date. All materials are available two months in advance, and immediate access is granted to the materials. For example, if you wish your license to start with September’s curriculum, you will begin to have access to the September download page during the first week of July. Which is pretty sweet for obvious reasons.

Can I purchase individual months of curriculum?
No. Licenses are only sold in 12-month periods. We sell them in 12-month blocks because there’s no way you could use them for only one month. Are you kidding? You’ll be hooked in one week! Geesh. Just looking out for you.

Do you accept checks?
What’s a check? We have no idea what those are. Our computers only accept digital payment online during the sign up process. We are slowly turning into robots. We accept major credit cards and e-checks. E-checks are an electronic draft from a checking account. By using the e-check feature, you will enter the routing number, checking account number and bank name online. Oh, a check! As in, take the “e” off of e-check. No, we don’t accept those. With our luck Reggie would make a paper airplane out of it.

Can you invoice me for the curriculum renewal?
Afraid not. We at Orange pride ourselves on not being bankers. We let the computers take care of all of it. For more info on payment see the "Do you accept checks?" question above.

What kind of training opportunities do you have?
Why are some of the letters missing when I print?
Probably because we forgot to add them. OR You could try this: when using Adobe Reader and printing grayscale, please be sure to set the Advanced Option for "Set Font and Reserve Policy" to "Send At Start."

When I print the materials, it prints black boxes.
That's crazy. When Reggie prints them, the boxes are blue and orange. When printing, be sure to open the PDF documents with Adobe Acrobat Reader, and then proceed to print. Printing the PDFs from the preview pane and not Adobe Acrobat Reader will sometimes create black boxes on the printed page.

What is the password for the PDFs so I can edit them?
All PDFs within the curriculum are copyright protected as a whole, due to the use of graphics, layout and design. That means all the PDFs are password-protected. If you would like to edit the material, you can do so by using the Word documents provided.
close
Why do the PDFs not view or print correctly?
If you are experiencing problems with your PDFs displaying only a white page, or you are receiving an error that the viewer cannot decrypt the document, please update your Adobe Reader to the latest version. You will find the most recent installers at www.adobe.com.

How do I change the primary user?
To change the primary user information, the current primary user can log in and modify the account with updated information. Should the primary user leave, a secondary user, or new ministry leader can change the primary user info by contacting us. Our lawyer wrote this answer. Can you tell?
close
What is a secondary user?
A secondary user can be a volunteer, staff member or teacher that needs access to the materials for downloading and distributing. A secondary user is not able to make any changes to the account. Why? Because he or she is secondary! Sorry for yelling (smiley face).

How do I add secondary users to my account?
To add a secondary user, the primary user or coach must first log in. On their Curriculum Administration and User Management page (the page seen directly after log in), there will be the option to add secondary users.
If you want to add more secondary users than the number you received with your initial license agreement, they are available at a charge of $20 per 10 users per year. To request more users contact us.

Why can I not download? Or, I receive an error when I download.
PC Users:
If you are on a PC, first of all that is just too bad (just kidding, hope the IT guys don't read the FAQ). You probably have a temporary file hanging around from a previous failed download. You should go to Start menu > Settings > Control Panels > Internet Options. From the General tab, click on the button in the Temporary Internet Files panel. Click on the Delete Files button to remove any failed download or partial download of that file.
Also, Click on the 'Settings' button in this same panel and make sure that your browser is set to 'Check for newer version of stored pages' at 'every visit to the page.' Apply the changes and close the 'Internet Options' window.
Mac Users:
If you are on a Mac, congratulations (simmer down, just kidding)! You can accomplish the same thing by going to 'Preferences > Advanced > Empty Now' under 'Cache Settings.'
