I care just for the meter itself. If it's accessible and reliable. The
software is just fluff, in my opinion, that I can take or leave.

Bridgit, very important- when you install the Embrace software, you need a
special USB cable which is not included with the Embrace supplies. 
Also, the toll free support number is:

877-979-5454

Good luck, and feel free to keep in touch if you need any more information.
