Don't pay attention to the man behind the curtain down under.
I have a similar issue, where I download and install the "free" versions, but they eventually expire. At that point, they seem to think they are the full versions (i.e., Masters Edition for Wavepad). If I reinstall the software, it works again until an expiration date.
There are points when the software asks to install something on demand. I wonder if it is updating the software to the full versions at this point.
Anyway, it's annoying. Any ideas to stop the expirations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
