Mandy, After a short trial period you do have to register and get a licence code although there is no charge for the basic version. However when I did so I ran into a problem. There was one of those images on the page from which you have to copy the characters. However I e-mailed support@xxxxxxxxx and received a very prompt reply saying that they understood my problem and had registered me manually. With the code in the e-mail I was able to activate the product for 12 months Hope that helps, Douglas.
