Unless they have changed Alibre offers a free version called Express. I had to call to get them to switch me when the full trial version timed out.

Remove all of your current Alibre software and try a different email address and stuff, *I know I have downloaded express twice and the 30 day trial twice.



Edit: are you trying to use Express or the full version 30 day trial?

Odds are you have to "hack" the windblows registry to remove the line that makes mention of when the software was originally installed.........or if you haven't added stuff you can "restore" to a point before you installed it and get a "clean" reg. without the lines of code that mention the software.
