When you first open the program you have the option of starting it in DEMO MODE. In this mode ALL FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM will be turned on. The program will run in this mode for 30 days. At the end of that time you will need to ACTIVATE your program. Once activated the program will turn off the features that are not included in the version you purchased. The remaining features will continue to function and you will not loose any of the data you have put in the program.
