Hi,

I'm currently running Mp3 Tag Studio 3.5 (Beta 19) and whenever I now try to start it, I get an error message that it's a time-limited version and I need to upgrade to the newest version. On the download page, the one I have seems to be the newest version. Tried uninstalling and re-installing to no avail.

Do I need to buy it now?

Thanks.

You are expected to register (buy) the program if you like it and want to continue to use it after 30 days, yes.

A new beta version with extended time limit will be released this weekend though.

I am having the same problem, however, I have not been using the software for even a week.  I tried uninstalling and installing version 3.05 with banner, but windows reports that the program crashes as soon as I try to start it (Vista Business).  I tried running in admin mode, which was also unsuccessful.

Thanks for the help.

Same for me!

Working fine (last time used some weeks ago). Today expired. Downloaded all possible stuff, but after installing, always same message (expired).

So if there isn't a solution quickly, I will look for a different tool... Sorry, but why should I pay now, when I was looking at the banner things the last few years... no way!!!

Guys, it's a timed beta set to expire on a specific date. It has nothing to do with installing and uninstalling or registering.

Even so, why do the other versions (i.e. 3.05) not work now either?

Version 3.05 is not compatible with Windows Vista, that's all. It will still work on all other operating systems.

The software is not compatible with Vista?? That will explain why I am unable to get the program to run! I have installed the program and it appears to be running when you open the Task Mangager and yet the program window does not open. I am very happy to buy a registered version if this will solve the problem

The 3.5 series (beta version) should be fully compatible with Vista, did you try that one? You don't have to buy it to be able to try this version.
