"Pro Version"?? Personal License? Free? Not Free? Help!?
Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2013 7:29 am
The CintaNotes home page is very confusing:
At top of the page, it describes CintaNotes as a "Free, lightweight and user-friendly note taking application".
Which makes it sound as if CintaNotes is FREE.
But then, a bit further down, we are urged to "Buy Personal License for $25".
(That line, however, is struck-through, and followed by "Christmas Discount - buy now for $18.75.")
So, if one needs to to buy it (whether at $25 or $18.75), then in what way, precisely, is it "Free"??
I thought that being "bought" was more or less the opposite of being "free"...
So... Is it free?
Or is it not free?
Is there really a Free Version?
And, what is a "Personal License"?
Is there a separate "Personal Version," which differs in some way from the "Free Version," and which requires one to purchase a Personal License in order to run it?
Or does buying the Personal License merely give one a license to run the Free Version? (Which you could show, as proof of something, in case you get stopped for speeding or failing to signal your turn?)
How is that different from running the Free Version without a License?
Then, it gets even worse:
Below the bit about "Personal License" and "$18.75", there is a separate BOX, in which it says that
something or other (it's not at all clear exactly what) can be found "Only in Pro Version 2.0."
"Pro Version 2.0"?
What is the "Pro version"?
And what is only in it?
Is it Free? Or Not Free?
Does one need a License to run it? A Personal License, at $18.75? Or a Free License?
Where can one obtain a Free License? And how much does it cost?
How many different versions are there? Three? Free, Personal & Pro?
But there is only ONE download link, not three.
Is there a comparison chart somewhere showing differences between them?
I am becoming more and more confused by the minute.
I hope someone can clear all of this up!
