When is the expiration date. It obviously is not a fully-fledged update.

: Actually it doesn't make a lot of sense to me since the beta has an
: expiration date. In fact, a lot of betas are available free so that
: users can have the opportunity to help work out the bugs. Granted, it
: goes both ways and I am not trying to insinuate that everybody gives
: away betas. But as I say, considering the expiration it makes no
: sense.

: In fact, I would go further to say that to give access might make some
: people realize the value of the update and purchase it. But I
: wouldn't expect HJ to realize this. One could also argue that the 40
: minute time limit gives the user ample opportunity to realize the
: greatness of the update. However, I would say that the 40 minute time
: limit would only tend to infuriate me! I would probably be in the
: midst of doing something important when it timed out. Hence I might
: totally stop using the product altogether!

: Well, after all, if you haven't paid for the update, then why should
: you
: get it? While it is a beta, it is a full flege update, with a few
: bugs.
: Most programs don't give away their updates free. I know that I
: wouldn't
: care to work for nothing, and I doubt that you would either. While
: agree
: that it is a little expensive, no one is saying that we need to buy
: this
: program either. So you either pay for it, and quit wining about it,
: or buy
: another program if you think that it is better.
