Free version is only for personal use, ;), it cannot be used in a commercial enviroment, guess if your using Protel you are doing it for reward so...... Anyhow, as Protel license permits multiple installations anyway at one time, as long as only one is in use at any one time (Mr Lomax can clarify) is there any point to block it. No point in trying to avoid the issue so you can use 2 at once, skipping the warning box, as you are effectively pirating the software at that time, or at least in breach of the EULA (Altium EULA gives a lot more latitude than most I can tell you!)
