Hi Evan !
And what about activation key technology. In this case customer get fully functional product in evaluation version and through entering activation key gets full product. In this technology there is only one version of product (maybe a little bit more complicated only). This technolgy was used by Microsoft in Windows XP. In such case team develops only one version - additional efforts are on sales department side. Did you suggest that in creating WinXP was not involved professional software developers ?


>However, I do not believe that in professional software development, you can produce a demo version of a product where "separate testing of demo version will not be needed or needed only in very limited scope". IMHO, quite the opposite condition exists.
