Version 1.2.6.0 (New Release)

  • If you install the application and relog as a different user it will force regreplace to expire its 30 days trial period. Since it was designed for a user license it was based on the current user. This has been adjusted for the trial license. This is only available as a seperate download and only needed if the 30 days expires before its time is up. Thank you to those who emailed me about this. I did receive abusive emails about this and did not appreciate those emails, the function was not intentional.
