Trial length ?

[haakoo]

Downloaded Designer6 just(5 mins ago)
Opened and it showed 7 days remaining of the trial period.
Can someone elaborate on this subject

You can extend the trial to 30 days. Look closely on the startup/registration splash screen

[StevenWWinters]

You can extend it to 30 days by logging in to your Xara account and requesting a trial license key.

EDIT: Oops. Someone beat me to it while I was distracted...

What a cr**pwhola program this is becoming
registering a trial?
Magix rules I gather.

Sorry for the regulars here at TG for my blunt remark

They probably would like to know how many people DL the application v how many people register for the full trial for marketing data.
It doesn't make the application any different. Just more effort on your part.

you can get that info from trial downloads and cross-compare by the sales and upgrades,so a bad business approach
I think this is going to be holding back people from buying in the end

Well it is a way to get these peoples email adresses and
send them regular offers on all there products.

I downloaded the Pro 6 trial, and like Haakoo, it said 7 days. I closed and reopened it and it said 3 days... and gave me the option to extend it to 30 days. So I filled out the form to extend it for 30 days, received and used the unlock key, but when I tried to reopen it again it said the trial period had expired. No joy, so I removed it.

Maybe I held the mouse wrong :-)

I've been using the trial versions for Designer Pro and Photo & Graphic Designer for hours on my test machines.

Each time they start they report 7 days remaining on the trial period. I'm sure tomorrow they will report 6 days.

Very unusual that the trial period would become shortened from 7 to 3 days all within the same 24 hour period of time.

Maybe 'm' overclocked his PC a little too much
