Mondrian Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Is the free version of Crescendo limited? At the eigth measure the softwre begins to do odd things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris75 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 The limitations on the free version are only regarding the VSTI support and other print options. What type of odd things is the program doing and would it happen with all the scores you write? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey110 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I have printed several times (mainly to check spacing etc.) but all of a sudden it says I have to buy it in order to print!! Is this a free version or not? The above post says VSTI and some print options are the only limitations. The web site does not give any mention of time nor feature limits on the free "Hobbyist" or "Demo" version. (Crescendo Version 9.40) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1x1 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 @Davey110 The free version doesn't offer all features available in the paid version, when you have the situation to be asked for registration or buy the software, that is an indicator that the option is available only for paid version.

Davey110 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Then why has it printed in the past? It has been on my computer for several years and I have tried it previously and it printed ok. Is there a time limit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakubX Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Hi, Please note that the free versions of our programs have usage restrictions especially if you've updated to the newer versions (new restrictions may have been applied). We'd always recommend getting a license to better utilize the program. It comes with free tech support via email as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey110 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 The web site should make this clear, especially regarding printing! I spent several weeks working on a couple songs & learning the program, only to find that I can no longer print them. Wasted effort! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakubX Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I am sorry to hear that. NCH Software is always interested in improving existing programs and developing new programs.

Davey110 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 I may have found the problem - a bug in the software. Occasionally it will give me the message that the feature I am trying to use requires me to purchase the program (even to enter notes!). Re-starting the program resolves the issue.
