+====== PMA.start requires you to create a user account ======
+Upon first use PMA.start will prompt you to create a user account. This account is used to provide security and as a means to contact all PMA.start users to inform them about important product updates.
+The account details simultaneously gives PMA.start users access to a My Pathomation account. The same user login credentials will also work for My Pathomation and give you access to a free plan with 10GB storage.
+If a PMA.start user already has a My Pathomation account their existing account credentials of My Pathomation will also work in PMA.start.
+If a PMA.start user does not have a My Pathomation account upon their first opening of PMA.start they will need to create an account.
