Title: Demo expired
Post by: j-georges on August 08, 2013, 04:49:39 pm
Hi,
My son and I installed the MC18 demo some time back.  That evening I wound up in the hospital and had to stay for surgery and rehabilitation.  
I went home and was in bed for almost a month.  When I felt better I made it to my PC to find that the JRiver Demo had expired.
I have done much reading of late and it is almost a fact that JRiver is the software to run.  How do I get to try it a little bit before I decide ?
Thanks,
j-georges

If you have another PC you can install the trial there, or wait for MC19 to be released soon, which should give you a new trial.
Extending the trial is usually not easy otherwise..

I'm sorry to hear of your troubles, I wish you well.

Although rigorous, a reinstall of your PC will also do the trick.

I'd hold off.

The new build of MC19 should be out in a little while, and installing that will give you a brand new 30 day trial.  That's the easiest solution.

Maybe, but if the installation of MC18 was recent enough, it was an MC19 trial.  I don't remember the cutover date.

An MC17 trial might work.

There was an official way to get some more days (was it 14) to trial in the past. Not sure if that is the case nowdays
