I downloaded the new MX version of Web Designer yesterday, excited to give it a whirl.
Upon starting the program I was presented a welcome screen which said that I could try out the program for 4 days, or extend the trial to 30 days by registering.
I opted to simply continue on instead of immediately extending the trial.
I started the program again in the same day and it said that I now only had 1 day remaining unless I registered for the 30 day extended trial.
Today I was presented with the option of buying the program, or extending for 30 days. So I registered.
Upon inputting the 30 day unlock code the program unlocked, and said that I have only 20 days left in the trial period !
Now I am a good customer an have purchased almost every version of Xara's software for the last 10 years, and in all likelihood I'll probably buy this one as well.
But this kind of chiseling-of-the-trial-days behavior is really unacceptable.
If you only want to offer a 21 day trial then just say so !
