Not true, we DID notifiy users.

When you updated a program using the built-in updater, you got the following text:

FINAL RELEASE

This is trial version of Mémoires. With trial version you can create up to 5 entries per journal. You can purchase a license to get over this limitation.

Release Notes
  • GUI improvements.
  • Better Leopard compatibility.
  • Export panel “Save” button changed to “Export”.
  • Russian, Japanese and Traditional Chinese localizations.
  • New icon.
  • Help added.
  • Fixed: when current date changes, it now changes in Mémoires as well.

Also, the message “Trial version limit” appears not on startup, but when you try to add more than 5 entries per journal, and it states:

You are using the trial version of this program. It allows you to create up to 5 entries. Please purchase the full version to get over this limitation and receive other benefits for being the registered customer.”

It’s not like “You’re not licensed” or whatever.

I wonder if you used Mémoires or some evil application? (Joke :) )

I got a “You are not licensed” message the next time I started up and it does make you feel like a criminal.

Not sure I’m going to bother purchasing a license, might just go back to using a pages document :/ all because you didn’t warn me!
