Are you joking?? I just ordered it by post and paid $20 for postage and it's a trial? Will it expire? Or do I need to buy a CD key? Thanks,

that answers that then i wondered why when i tried turning progs into .exe files they didnt work
damn why do these ppl make stuff for free so we can beta test it for them but make it so we dont have the full range of the products true abilities

I prefer VB6 to VB.net, and prefer C#.net to all of them.
