Restrictions
We are also in the business of selling our software. With this income we can make nice software, and that is what we think we do best. So to be able to continue this work for you we did limit the Free Edition to essential functionality for one-time installation:
- The Release Manager is not included, you cannot fine tune upgrades, nor can you create one-step upgrade scripts.
- The upgrade facility will not not work, you cannot create small upgrade patches
- Multi-package is not included, this means that you cannot use setup types and features, and cannot create fine granular updates
- Installer inheritance is not part of the Free Edition
- restore to previous version is not included.
- You cannot add Dialogs to your installation.
- Advanced options as registry settings, ActiveX registration etc are not accessible
- Some functions of the script, related to not implemented features, are not accessible.
And additionally:
- We do not provide E-mail support, but you are free to use the Forum if you have questions.
