Next time I'll read the manual - but it just goes to show how one seemingly reasonable assumption can cause so much bother!
BTW
Interesting talking to the guys who wrote MaxPoint - I guess they never expected a trial to fail, so they say they have no way to issue a new 30 day test license if you wish to evaluate a second mount ...
What does that tell me - given their register software option asks for name, e-mail, license and license expiry date? I had figured they just issue a new licence that expires in 30 days - no they say they can't!
It tells me they use hidden registery fields to map the 30 days - probably in a bogey fashion, and uninstall doesn't clear this stuff from the register. I don't like the practice of leaving hidden keys and other garbage in my registery file - it slows things down over time significantly and leads to instability. Given its a 30 day trial from a set date well it wouldn't be too hard to find and erase this key - but I just can't be bothered - folk should learn better programming practices!
