  1. I have the same problem and must say I'm pretty annoyed. I installed the free version because I don't need the features of the Pro version. It worked fine for a few months but started to have a few glitchy issues after a MacOS upgrade, so I decided to visit the site to see if there was an update. EVERYTHING ON THE SITE indicated that I was downloading the STANDARD version of the software - there is still even an FAQ saying something about how to buy the Plus version. So I downloaded and installed the new version - during which there were absolutely no warnings whatsoever that it was in fact installing a TRIAL of the Pro version. Now I have all of my current financial year's data in an application that I can't access unless I pay. To make matters worse I then though I might just bite the bullet and buy it. So I went to the purchase page and was presented with a "November Special" price of $79.99 - 15% discount. During this time I was telling a friend on MSN about the fact that I felt ripped off that the free version had obviously been scrapped with no warning - forcing me to purchase the Pro version if I want my data. He visited the site, clicked the Purchase link and said to me "It's only $50" because on his screen it was showing a purchase price of $49.95. A little bit of experimentation by both of us discovered that as we opened different browsers on different computers we were presented with different prices - the cheapest being $39.95 going up to $79.99. Clearing the cookies and refreshing the page can result in a different "November Special" appearing. This to me is an extremely dodgy practice. To say I'm incredibly annoyed at this would be an understatement. I think there are two very dodgy business practices going on here. The most annoying part is that I now have all of this financial year's data in an application that I can't access without paying a company that I believe is trying to deceive me on various levels, so if I pay how can I be guaranteed I'll even get a license code!?
