Yes, but … …

… … assuming you can get the trial software down from their web sites.

(I followed their instructions, kept getting “url not found” message using the url in their email, gave up yesterday. After replying to the email “ng”. No response.)

Came back to it and the software downloaded. Hey, making progress. (You think?)

Installed it. With the required reboot. (Argh!)

Then comes activation!

Like Microsoft, you have to activate it. It doesn’t. Says “no connect to the inet”. Right! No link to support. No options to appeal. And, nothing in the help that “helps” or identifies how to contact them.

So, if I have all these problems (again) when they are trying to SELL me their software, then what will be my experience after I start using it?

If I get my data secured with their software and it locks up, then what would I do?

Nah, not for me.
