So what messages are associated with the error?
Also did you see fine print anywhere warning of this?
Here is what Avid has to say on the subject:
Q. What if I need to run the trial for longer than 30 days? Or if my
trial runs out before I am done evaluating the software?
A. The free trial has a 30-day limit. After the 30 days expire, you must
purchase a copy of the software in order to run your Avid application.
The trial version cannot be reset.
Q. Can I work on a project in the full version that was created in the
trial version?
A. Yes but only in the current shipping version. While the trial
version is fully functional bins will not open in older versions of the
editor. Example: Bins created in v4.0 will not open in v3.0/7.0 or v3.5/7.5.
Can of worms that...
