Hi Andy. If you go in to add/remove programs or programs and features depending on which version of Windows your using and click to uninstall the respective programs, you should be given the option to uninstall or downgrade to the free version. Why they don't offer this option at program launch is slightly baffling, but there you have it. All the best, Ibrahim. ----- Original Message ----- From: ANDY COLLINS To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, December 10, 2010 4:16 PM Subject: [access-uk] Express burn and other NCH software Hi all - I thought when I installed the Express Burn and Mixed Audio Pad softwhere from the NCh website, the programmes were shareware, but just now, when I came to use them for the first time, I got the message telling me my 14 day trial period has expired, and the perchase screen. So, has NCH removed the freeware versions of their software? - Andy
