It works just fine.. Not sure if anyone who actually consider this worth 399 they use to pay to use the applications..if I really needed this applications for work, the value would be around 9.99

I think you have to download a separate program I went on the site and it seemed to suggest that there's a different program to download

Download you can but not for the license key. I think they are having some problem with the license system.

The download page was flaky for me the first time. It downloaded regular Google earth. But I tried the link again and this time got the pro version. I was able to get both the Windows and Mac versions on their respective computers.

$400 per year? No way. I'd rather have 3d buildings and terrain instead.
