Vlad, Thank you for your comments. We will try to be clearer on which downloads are "trial" downloads. The Studio 10 download was originally a trial download which was a limitation of how the product group made the software available via download but this has now been fixed and the Studio 10 download on the EduSoft site is now a fully licensed, non-trial version.
All of Sun's software is moving to "non denial of use licensing" and as a result we should have fewer and fewer "trial" versions of software available as products are updated to be consistent with the new licensing scheme.
