How to kill your license

Hi Pasha,

I was playing around with the (Dutch) translation, looking at 'all' the possibilities and at a certain moment pressed <Abandon unlimited license> under options:

It turned out to be a perfect way to 'kill' your license, that is: the program turned back to the limited version again. :o
Not only that but the named button also greyed out, so I couldn't get back to my licensed version again. :?

Of course I backed up by starting the official registration pocedure, which happily did work!

So, after all no big issue, but I think this should be looked after.

Thanks.
Regards,
Fred

Hey!

Well, the button does what is says.
It discards your Unlimited license.
You've got the thing you asked for.

At the moment this option is required for translators to check if the translated warning messages of free edition look good.
That's why the button is put in Advanced options page - the page for advanced users.

You can always revert Unlimited edition back by entering the license key.
Don't worry this is not a bug, this is planned begavior.

Mmmmm,

I see what you mean (in English that is).
Allthough it's planned behaviour, I can hardly understand that someone would have asked for this.
It's not very logical to have a button to leave your bought license, is it?
I can understand the translator option though.
And that's exactly where it went wrong. Obviously Paul has not understood this part either.
In the Dutch translation it say's (backtranslated to English) something like 'Enter unlimited license'.
I suppose that that would be the future option?

Anyway, thanks for explaining.
I know what to do (and certainly what not to do) now.

Fred

Oh, I see.

Let's correct the text on the button in Dutch translation.
Can you give me the Dutch text for "Abandon Unlimited license"?
I will update it to avoid confusion.

In Dutch: "Verlaat ongelimiteerde licentie"

Thanks

Hi Pasha and Paul,

Thanks.
It's perfectly translated now.
