Pete, FWIW, it appears that I just had a bad download. I re-downloaded it, and it's running w/o errors. Thx.

This afternoon, I downloaded a new version of the snf file: MH> http://www.sortmonster.com/MessageSniffer/Demo/snfrv2r3.snf and it appeared MH> to be a newer file (larger size and newer date/time stamp).

I am a bit confused - the demo rulebase should have been the same name in both cases. At any rate, renaming a rulebase file breaks the encryption used to validate the contents. Each license ID and authentication code constitute a unique matched pair - neither work without the other, and the contents of the rulebase file are checked with a hash that is seeded with license ID and authentication string. The license ID for the demo is snfrv2r3. Please be sure you have the most recent software and rulebase from our try-it page.
