Did You Know?
A Demo Course has also been
preloaded on the SGX to allow you
to view some of the functionality of
the SGX through a simulation. If no
courses are installed on your SGX, it
will open the “Demo Course”. If only
one course is loaded, the SGX will
ask if you want to play that course.
Note
After the complimentary 30-day
Course Preload trial period is over,
you will only see courses for the
region your Membership plan covers.
If you sign up for a SGX Membership
before the 30 day trial is over, you
will still have access to all of the
preloaded courses.
