Frequently Asked Questions

Can I create multiple free Sotreo-system accounts for my business?

I have registered with your site but didn’t receive any confirmation emails, what could be the problem?

You may have typed your email address incorrectly. Try to login to your account again and check that your email address is not mistyped. If this is the case, the application will let you know that this account already exists. If not, please register again. The other possible reason may be that your mail service provider blocks our mails. In this case you need to check your junk mail.
