Why are the full and demo versions separate files?

We do this for a number of reasons. The main reason is that it is too easy to “crack” programs that combine the Demo and Full versions in one product. In addition, we do not want to restrict you in any way. For example, if you decided that you wanted to give your software away for free, it would not make sense to force people that download your software to register the demo version. In this situation, you could just provide them with the full version.
