I keep telling myself to try this program for some time now.
I went to their website and didn't find a trial and although their "amateur" version has a very accessible price, I'd rather spend nothing if it can be helped, obviously.
Do you know if installing will allow you to run it in trial for a while? I thought it's best to ask before installing to see for myself.

Don't really understand why there's a huge price difference for a floating license (or a floating license), you only can start the app once.
The only benefit is being able to install it on multiple machines so you're more flexible.

Does someone know if the fileformat is the same for all versions?

cheers!
