Do I need to be a paying member of AOL to use AOL Instant Messenger and Chat Translator?
No, you do not need to be a paying member of AOL to use AOL Instant Messenger. Anyone can open an AOL Instant Messengerâ„¢ account and download the AIM 6.8 software at no cost at www.aim.com. Once you have created an AOL Instant Messenger 6.8 account and installed the AOL Instant Messenger software on your computer, you will be able to install and use SDL Chat Translator.
