dvault Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Are there any product differences between Free and Paid? The text “This product is licensed for personal use only” within the product user interface is not present when a commercial license is used. There are otherwise no functional differences.

jvidal Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I ended up getting the files elsewhere. The personal usage download asks for some additional verification , but the page never finishes loading and gets stuck. vhick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elena1024 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) 53 minutes ago, Jose-gr said: Why not share with others ? That's what MrZeb did (sharing) and the .exe file in the zip archive has the same SHA-256 as the one mentionned on the official site (i.e. 2C3A40993A450DC9A059563D07664FC0FB85AE398A57D22B1B4BF0E602417BF7). But tere is no DIRECT download link from official site. I mean that the link is not of the kind http(s)://name_of_the last_relase.exe : there are other characters after the ".exe" which prevent a direct download using "copy + paste" and the use of an internet browser or a download manager.
