Hi Jim, Dónal posted that there was a MacUpdate promo on ABBYY FIne Reader Express a week ago. In keeping with the policy following many (but not all) mupromos, you can still purchase this application at 25% discount ($74.99) for the next 7 days, although the 50% discount was only good last Monday: http://www.mupromo.com/deal/13410/abbyy-finereader-express
I'm a bit confused about whether the free trial demo of this program has been updated to the latest version, 8.3, for Lion. The information on the trial download site for ABBYY FineReader Express appears to state that this is good for Mac OS X through 10.7, but the numerous comments on the macupdate web page state that users who tested the trial all had to update their versions at the ABBYY web site before they could apply their serial numbers following purchase. The developer claims you have to uninstall the 15-day trial version, then load the new version for 8.3 from the following URL in order for the serial numbers to work: http://www.abbyydownloads.com/FRMACLion/ABBYY_FineReader_Express.dmg Of course, you could just go to the Mac App Store and pay the $99.99 for ABBYY FineReader Express, and not worry about the discount. Purchases of MacUpdate promos do require you to create an account, and that requires a one-time negotiation of a CAPTCHA. HTH.
