the word “unlimited” felt misleading. It wasn’t about number of installs, it was about the life of a single device (apparently about three years in my case). Kind of annoying, especially since I only ever wanted to run one copy at a time and I’d already paid extra for what I thought was freedom to switch devices.
The support rep did offer a small discount on a new subscription, which I appreciated — it’s not nothing — and the software itself works fine, no complaints on performance. So yes, it’s not a total disaster. I’m grateful it still runs well and that they answered quickly. But the policy could be a lot clearer up front. If you’re thinking of buying, my advice: read the license terms closely (I know, who does that usually?) and maybe take a screenshot of the activation info so you don’t get surprised later. I would have liked a one-time transfer option or at least a more straightforward “you can move this once” rule. It feels reasonable to expect a bit more flexibility when you’re only ever using one copy.
All in all, I’m mildly disappointed but not furious. If they changed the wording on marketing materials and gave a simple path to transfer licences, I’d be much happier and probably recommit. For now, I’ll keep using the program on the new laptop but I won’t rush to buy another “unlimited” upgrade from them without double-checking first.

interface is straightforward, it does the job, not flashy but reliable enough for occasional edits. Problem is the licence rules. Turns out the “unlimited” part meant “unlimited on the same machine,” not unlimited across replacements. That’s...misleading, honestly. I dug through the fine print and found the new terms, but that doesn’t excuse the way it was sold. I get that companies change policies — sure — but a heads up or a clear line on the purchase page would’ve saved me a lot of time. A simple note: “does not transfer between machines” would have been fine. Also, it’d be nice if older customers were grandfathered in; they sold me a product under different assumptions. As for day-to-day use: the software feels solid, not perfect, sometimes a little clunky exporting, but usable. If you travel, swap computers, or upgrade parts, expect to call support or repurchase. My advice to others: if you need true portability, don’t assume “unlimited” means that; ask before you buy. And if you’re the company reading this — be clearer and consider exceptions for earlier buyers. I’m annoyed, sure, but I can still use the product on the machine it’s tied to. So it works, just watch out and double-check the licence terms before clicking buy.
