Oh it's not the fee. This is minor. The problem is that I need to install some payment app for this. I've stoped dealing with the whole stuff as I read this.

When the trial version is expired (after 15 days) or you'd like to make a purchase of a license upfront, there is a License Tool installed as part of the software that takes you to the xlsgen website.

What should that be good for? If there is not enough trust in me, I give not away my trust. As simple as that.

There might or might be not a reason to have this versus Excel on a comp, this is not up to me. I have no idea what an Excel file would be good for if I can not open it with Excel - so I would have Excel anyway.

I only think
- the licensing tool is bad.
- If the software looks like the site - I'm not a gamma tester.
