This has to be one of the most annoying piece of software I've ever used. You pay for the software and then find out you have to activate it.

Once you get past that and are up and running you notice the menus are full of grayed out features saying "PRO Only" and links to their other products.

To me it is very tacky to release a product that is, more or less, just an ad for other products, and charge money for it.

It seems like they are taking inspiration from Quicktime player, where it has pro options grayed out, but at least Quicktime is free so you are not paying to see ads.

I checked to see if there was a way to turn this off and even options in the preference pane kept popping up saying I had to pay for the full version.

I really regret sending these guys any money.
