Advantages of pay or free

[obamacomyoyo]

What are the advantages of the paid version over the freebie?
Use it for my personal use of reading and making notes and not
for commercial consumption.

thank you and hny!

Purchasing a license is for lifetime and not a yearly renewal is that correct?

Also what happens if I need to reformat my hard drive. Do I need to purchase
another license since the old license may not recognize the new drive?

thank you again.

Hi obamacomyoyo,

Purchasing a license is for lifetime and not a yearly renewal is that correct?

Yes that is correct. The software you license will work in perpetuity on your existing hardware without ever paying more. You can also re-install in on a hew hard drive in the event of a crash, just retrieve your serial key by logging into your account and running the 'Trial' installer - the key will unlock it and it won't be in 'Trial Mode' any more. What we can't promise is that this version will always work on new hardware as technology changes. To protect yourself against that you can purchase maintenance.

If you let your maintenance expire (see https://www.pdf-xchange.com/annual_ ... tions.html for details), you will miss out on free upgrades to any major new versions that are released. By keeping maintenance up to date you can always have the latest new versions for a fraction the cost of a regular upgrade.
