Excelente programa. Por lo mismo en diciembre 1 del 2024 compré la “colección de maestros” por $ xx utilizando cuenta transf del cual tengo el recibo correspondiente. Pero hace un tiempo no me aparece la aplicación de cole colección de maestros. Cómo hago¿
Tuve un problema de clave y la asistencia funcionó perfectamente en esa oportunidad pero no puedo ubicar esa forma de contacto.
