Already out of stock.

At that price I might have been tempted to give it a try.  Pity :sad:

Think I paid £35 on launch. It's annoying that it requires DVD in the drive to authenticate on startup.

One day I may even use it properly.

It's in a nice tin though.

Can't you mount an ISO instead to avoid having to have the DVD in the drive?   I looked at that aspect when I clicked the link Sparko posted and assumed that's how I would have needed to do it as I don't even have a DVD drive in my current system.     Likewise I'm not going to spend an extra $30 to buy a USB authenticator from them to avoid the need for the DVD!

Not sure if ripping the DVD works, but one would have hoped that a ripped ISO mounted to e.g. Virtual Clonedrive, would do the trick.

I started playing with making an iso of disk one and from the testing  I've done it seems the DVD check is no longer present in 10.25. Might pop up in the future, so I'll check the iso then.

In the past it has gone into "demo" mode at startup unless you inserted the disk.
