Please check frequently asked questions below for help. If you can't find the answer to your question then please don't hesitate to contact us.
- I can’t login, it keeps saying my username or password is incorrect?
- Are you using your email address or username when logging in? Pro-Study requires a username and won’t work with an email address. This is normally the cause of this issue but we are more than happy to take a further look if required.
- Can I use another browser or does it have to be Chrome?
- The Pro-Study Chrome extension also works on Edge. Just visit the Chrome store through Edge and you will be able to enable Chrome extensions.
- Additionally, you can use Pro-Study Online on any browser to access your research and use the Pro-Study features as normal, it is just the Pro-Study extension that requires either Chrome or Edge to capture information.

- Why are none of my projects showing up in the right click context capturemenu? - I can't capture any content because of this.

- How do I get my copy of Pro-Study if I’ve been recommended Pro-Study through DSA?
- Please go to page 2 of your DSA2 letter and contact the equipment supplier listed. They will then send you your licence key.

- Log into your account here and paste the new key into the licence key field. This will update your account and ensures you have all your projects saved under one account.
- When I open a file saved within Pro-Study, I can’t capture anything from it?
