I would guess they only care about the registration process today since it includes a year of updates which typically are full installs for these sorts of things. I also get the feeling they'll probably be switching to a free model anyway or just pushing their changes fully into wine itself and leaving their version for paid support. -- Say no to astroturfing. actions > Ignore Author

graysonf Premium,MVM join:1999-07-16 Fort Lauderdale, FL	reply to compugeek It's fully enabled. There is a menu item for registering to activate it, but when you do that it says it's already enabled. You don't get a license emailed to you. What they do email you later is a link to the support site good for one year. Also, if you look in the demo folder where the file is located, the file is invisible.

Snakeoil Ignore Button. The coward's feature. Premium join:2000-08-05 Mentor, OH kudos:1 Reviews: ·RoadRunner Cable ·magicjack.com	reply to graysonf My question is: What happens when the free time frame ends? Does it lock up, making you pay for it? I understand it's for a year, but I'd like to know if there is a hammer at the end of the year requiring me to pay. -- Is a person a failure for doing nothing? Or is he a failure for trying, and not succeeding at what he is attempting to do? What did you fail at today?.

graysonf Premium,MVM join:1999-07-16 Fort Lauderdale, FL	I doubt there is any time bomb in it the program itself. The free support runs out after one year. Even if the program is timebombed, so what? You got a free year.

No_Strings Premium,Mod join:2001-11-22 The OC kudos:6 Host: Wireless Networking All Things Unix Cox HSI Efficient Southwest Chat	reply to Snakeoil According to the information on their site, you get a fully functional version (no time bomb, no limited features, etc.). In addition, you get one year of support which includes upgrades. Once the support contract ends, the program should still work although you will not get free bug fixes. I'm sure they are betting on the fact that some people will like the software enough to buy a support contract in 12 months to guard against vulnerabilities and enjoy new features.

I've been tempted to try Crossover before, but haven't because I found and use Playlinux. The cost was the deciding factor. I'm still on the fence, and may not make the leap. I just don't know. ugh -- Is a person a failure for doing nothing? Or is he a failure for trying, and not succeeding at what he is attempting to do? What did you fail at today?.

graysonf Premium,MVM join:1999-07-16 Fort Lauderdale, FL	reply to Snakeoil Unless Crossover offers some capability you must have that is absent in PlayonLinux, then just stick with what you have.
