It's possible that this link may contain something that you might find useful. However, even if you do succeed in installing it, you may still be unable to access online resources that some jobs may require.

Surely your client should be able to help you?

Check some reviews before you start... Feb 20, 2023

It seems this is a paid software subscription where the subscription is difficult to cancel. Even for the free trial to work, you have to enter your credit card number.
This may be worth it for you, but do think about it before you get yourself an unwanted subscription!

As Chris suggests, if your client requires the use of this software, they should be able to provide it - and any advice you may need to start using it.

There are also some forum threads about this software.

Apologies for barging in, but after reading through another thread, I think the original question was posted in connection with 'jobs' offered by what eventually turned out to be a fake agency,

Stay safe!
