Confused newbie - why does trial download not offer Professional features?

[haggis999]

I have just downloaded the "21 day full functionality Reference trial version" of dBpoweramp Professional but it does not let me exploit the features unique to that version. When I try, I get the error "Secure ripping is not supported with unregistered dBpoweramp".

I went to the registration page but all I could see were options for purchasing the program and the warning "All programs have a full trial, before purchasing check the program functions as required, refunds cannot be given after registered program is downloaded".

I'm just going in circles here. What am I doing wrong?

You have to install into an account with Administrator access rights for the trial to activate.

I have just found a message box that tells me my trial has expired and now have vague recollections of briefly using the trial version a year ago to rip a couple of CDs. As I wasn't ready back then to proceed with my plans to rip my entire collection of CDs, I never seriously evaluated the software and had forgotten all about it.

However, I have been able to work round this problem by installing the trial on my laptop. This time I will check it out properly within the 21 day trial period!
