This is a fully functional version of the program. No features have been disabled, it won’t stop playing in 10 days and it won’t just let you play once a day. You will however have a little “please register me” screen pop up on you from time to time. The purpose of this is to remind you that this program is not free, not to annoy you. If you feel the notice comes up too often and this genuinely bothers you, please let us know and we’ll send you a different version of the program where the shareware notice comes up less frequently.
