    Please update this article to remove the word "free" where you can. I tried to sign up for the "free" service. It is impossible to sign up for the "free" service without providing a credit card which is charged after 30 days for "support". Even explaining that I did not need support did not give me a "free" option. Practice Fusion is playing bait and switch.
