I don't know personally, but others here seem to say that they are complete, only time-limited, like 60 days or???

>>>Some of the comments I read from those on the VFP team seem to indicate that they are worried about the potential for using the demo version for real development. It might worry me that if they did a demo version, they might move to some kind of cumbersome product activation scheme to try to avoid improper use of the demo. Of course, maybe they could just do the product activation in the demo version, and leave the real version alone.

I note this same rating for a few wishes that ought not be DISAGREEable to any thinking person. They all could well be low on anyone's priority list, but surely not DISAGREEable.
