I downloaded the .zip file, ran the Setup program, then when AVS Video Editor started chose Help > Activate and pasted the registration key (REMOVED) into the box and clicked on "Okay." After the program accepted the registration key and told me the program was activated, I clicked on Help > About and got a box which said that anything I produced would have an AVS logo stuck over it. So I uninstalled the program and re-installed it to see if maybe I had entered the registration key incorrectly. When I click on "Help" there is no longer an "Activate" or "Register" selection and "About" leads to the same message that it will put an AVS logo on any output.
After reading comment #20 on the comment page, I uninstalled the version installed by the GotD .zip file for the second time and downloaded the .exe Setup file from the AVS site. It won’t let me re-enter the activation code and Help > About still brings up the pop-up window that tells me that it is going to stick an AVS logo on anything I do with the program.
Can someone from Giveaway of the Day please respond before the giveaway period for this program ends and tell me how to fix this and get a version installed which will produce output free of logos? It looks like it might be a useful program but if it is going to put their logo on anything I edit with it the program is of no use to me.
Thank you!
