6. Purchasing <Software to defeat the expiration> to upgrade to a full license
The SoftSynthesizer is not sold as a "full commercial version."
After you have tried out the trial version, you may purchase and download a
Key Program (subsequently referred to as "KeyPRG") which can be installed to
defeat the expiration date (without un-installing the trial version).
Two versions of KeyPRG are available.
- 20v3key: For the S-YG20 V.3 trial version
- 50v3key: For the S-YXG50 V.3 trial version
"KeyPRG" will work (i.e., will defeat the expiration date) even on an installed
trial version whose expiration date has already elapsed. It will also work on
all trial versions that are minor updates (increases in version number below
the decimal point), so you will always be able to use the latest version with a
full license.
