Maybe it is more of a "test run" program. I'm not sure on how much it is
that has to be re-done each 180 days, but twice a year is not *that* much
worse than once a year.

And that it comes ready packed and that can be run on anyones laptop
is just what many here has been asking for, so...

Yes, for those sticking to old and power-hungry equipment, it might be
a step down, but then ask for a developer licens, if you need that.
