I installed it on my desktop a month or so ago, and IIRC it's okay until June until it starts to nag you. But I think you need a key, but I don't think it's a unique key.Will work inside IR35. Or for food. -

June 2009 or June 2010?
I only need it installed and running properly for a week or so to see if it's compatible with my laptop. The Windows 7 upgrade advisor seemed to question my graphics cardCoffee's for closersComment

Good to know. I have the RC Ultimate installed on my desktop, but I was going to buy Pro, and obviously don't want to reinstall everything if I can help it.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

Why not stick with Ultimate? Its a £10 difference on Amazon.Originally posted by VectraMan View PostGood to know. I have the RC Ultimate installed on my desktop, but I was going to buy Pro, and obviously don't want to reinstall everything if I can help it.
You probably won't use the extra features but it does mean you can look down on the Pro users
