I have the previous version of this. I've had it quite a long time and it works fine. If I go to TOOLS, ABOUT, it states it is registered to Giveawayoftheday. If I go to TOOLS, REGISTRATION it will show it is registered to Giveawayoftheday, and the slots for a registration number will be empty. This is normal, ignore it. If your software says it is registered in the "ABOUT" screen, it is registered. If when you open the program and you get a pop-up up that says "buy now" or "register now" or "30 day trial", or your ABOUT screen asks you to register the software, then you may have a problem; otherwise I'd say you are ok. I am just basing this on the fact that my version has stayed operational and this is what I see in my TOOLS, ABOUT screen and I get no pop-ups.
I should tell you that when I got this earlier version, I and others had a job getting it registered(that is why I am sticking with this version and am not even attempting to get this tiny upgrade)but there was a registration number to enter with that version and it was only half of it. Bubby helped us ones that were desperately wanting the program in the last 5 minutes of the giveaway.I helped my sister get the one offered today (over the phone)and she had the same questions as everyone else. This version didn't have a registration number to enter but her ABOUT screen looked the same as mine and she didn't get any trial version notices. Good luck! I love this program for what it does, it is well worth the effort to make sure it is a working copy that you will be able to retain.
