PLEASE NOTE:
Ashampoo will continue to send you emails; details of offers and promotions for their products. I really don't mind because they develop some good and useful software but you should be aware of this, especially if you hate receiving these types of emails.

Do you know how long the license lasts for Jim?

Hey Marko - There are no comments on any site which suggest otherwise so I believe the license would be forever. Unlike some of the security software which is generally limited to a one year free license I am pretty certain this one is lifetime.

No doubt Ashampoo will release bigger and better versions of their Burning Studio but once the user has an account and a genuine licensed copy they will generally be able to upgrade at a heavily discounted price....that is, of course, if they choose to do so.

Cheers.....JIM

Cool, thanks for the heads up Jim (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
