Thats what I thought at first. I Did a bit more research on the subject. The licence agreement says this: "4. TERM. If the Software that was distributed to you was labeled as a Trial version, the license granted under this EULA commences upon the installation of the Software and is effective for the longer of fifteen (15) days following the date you install the Software or twenty (20) product launches (the "Trial Period"). Trial version Software may include software code intended to disable their functionality after the expiration of the Trial Period." Blabla And the download _is_ labelled as Trial. The FAQ pages sais this: "Is RSE really free? When will I have to pay? When does the trial version end? What is the catch? Yes, RSE is completely free. This is not a trial version, but a complete application that we are offering to you for free. There is no catch, no hidden adgenda, and no time limitation. You must supply your real email address in order to secure the free download, and when you run the program it will connect to the web to register the program if it has not been registered. If you are not connected to the web, then this will produce a "nag screen" as it attempts to register each time that it is run. Also, as a provision of you running RSE for free, you are giving permission to send appropriate newsletters or similar type mail to you to make you aware of Pixmantec news and information. If you do not want to receive these mails, please do no run our free software."

They contradict (hope thats the correct word). This simple minded Norwegian understands nooothing, I repeat, noooothing. Why doesn't the program start?
