Registered and Unregistered Users

There is only one version of the program, but certain features are locked until a registration code is entered. Unregistered users can only see a maximum of three decks on their My Decks menu. Certain network features are partially restricted for unregistered users. For example in the Deck Exchange you can preview the contents of the deck but you are not able to download and install it. In most other respects the program behaves the same whether the user is registered or not. There is no time limit so you can try it out for as long as you like before you decide to buy it.

The following window appears if you have not yet registered the program and you try to access a feature which is only for registered users:
