Sky@Night magazine CD

Hi Group, This is for UK readers I guess; the S@N CD contains release 5
of the free-ware stacking programme Registax. When you download this
there is a message telling you that it is a beta version valid for 30
days after which it stops working. OK, BUT it also says it was compiled
in February 2009 which I make is more than 30 days ago! If you try to
start the programme a message tells you to go to a web site to BUY it. I
assumed Registax 5 was free-ware as it states on the disk. Am I missing
something here?

Its called fakeware and you better stay away from it.
With that kind of honesty malware is sometimes
less damaging....
