I am having the same issue I see others are having.  I was using the free version and after a few days told I had to purchase.  Nowhere did it ever say I would only have the FREE version for a few days.  I'm looking all over the website for the free home download. Although it's showing up on the Google search, nowhere on your site can I find a home version download.  Now I have a finished video I can't save.  Very frustrating.

Actually, I can also confirm that this is true.   I got the same warning.  Although I had it installed for over a month, but rarely use it.  I decided to give it another try today. And I got the "error" giving me the choice to either buy Professional version or to stop using the software.   I tried to submit a bug report and I was told to upgrade to 5.52.  I did this and then I was able to use the software again.  But I need to make sure of something.....

This thread is using a lot of confusing terminology: personal version, home version, etc. The free version of Debut should be available at https://www.nchsoftware.com/capture/debutsetup.exe

If you're having trouble with Debut, then please open a support ticket at https://www.nch.com.au/support/index.html

So NCH should be more forthcoming about the free vs paid limitations of the software.  If there are truly no limitations, then the worst should be a nag screen.  If there are limitations, then a particular feature should be greyed out or a notification made that the specific software feature is only for paid users.   So @N_C_H_josh or others, can you confirm this debutsetup.exe (which I have installed) has no hidden usage limitations?

Thanks.

There is a checkbox "show rectangle area when recording"  But the program doesn't seem to have a customization for the darkening effect of the non-recorded parts.   I may want to record one part of my desktop, and continue working on the non-recorded parts of the desktop.   Can I show the rectangle, but not darken the other parts while recording (either in the program settings or in registry entry?   Other recording software does this easily.

edit:  I cannot attach a screenshot, so I will add dropbox link for clarification:  https://www.dropbox.com/s/4spnk04at81eg01/debut show rectangle recording area without darkening screen.png?dl=0
