Blackhat: you may very well have much better eyesight than Stu does. Or a psychic ability to be envied. Or the GOTD website country version you are using is different to his -- and mine. That's the most likely explanation.

Whatever: the text you have quoted is nowhere to be found on this page today when viewed (even without ad blocking) on either Firefox or IE browsers by anyone in the UK.

GOTD regulars will know that giveaway T&Cs feature in the ReadMe text accompanying all downloaded giveaways but if Stu isn't a regular here -- or wants to know more about an aspect of the T&Cs before downloading -- then his question seems perfectly valid.

This isn't the first time that this kind of question has been asked recently and met with a response similar to yours. I'm not saying you are wrong, merely pointing out that what is apparent on the page you are looking at may
not be apparent on the page he's viewing. Worth bearing in mind.

Blackhat,
Yes, I can read! I know I can read because I'm replying to your posting. :-) However, I didn't know WHERE to read. Nowhere on this page does it have what you pasted above. Also, their website IMPLIES that the paid version is for commercial use, not private use. Also, there have been some previous Give Away Of The Day software that at least allowed future reinstalls and updates (for the same major version number) like USB Safely Remove.

Blackhat, I don't think your snide "reply" was called for or necessary. It was a reasonable question, particularly since the info was not stated, or implied, in the company's wonderful description of their product. It also does not tell anyone whether this is rental-ware with a 6-month license, a 1-year license or it's a forever-and-a-day license and whether it will still work as advertised after the license period expires. It also doesn't tell us whether there's a portable version that is included....one should NOT have to go to the developer's web page, or download the offer without some important info included. Perhaps you could use your ESP, or crystal ball, and fill us in?

Jim,

Good question; I tested it by locking and hiding pages, saving, exiting, then opening with a PDF reader to confirm that locked page were not accessible (has a lock symbol on the page), and that "hidden" pages do not show up at all. You cannot unlock the file with a PDF reader. Next, I reopened with PDF Page lock Pro, and the first thing I am prompted with is the request for a password. I entered the password and then have the same list of pages, and the locked ones are shown locked, and the hidden ones shown hidden. At this point the document is the same as it was last saved by PDF Page Lock Pro. I can lock more pages, hide more pages, or unlock any that I choose. If I have any pages remaining locked or hidden, a Save prompts to save the protected file with a password. at this point, i could change the password from what I used before.

At the bottom where the choice to Lock or Hide are also the choices to Unlock, including Unlock All. After the Unlock all, now when I chose to Save, there is no prompt for a password, just the message that the file is unlocked. Attempting to open with a PDF reader shows that it is as if it never had been locked before, so it does stay unlocked from that point on.

Hope that helped.
