Hopefully I can clear up how the Window-Eyes 30 minute demo works. Once
you launch Window-Eyes for the first time after a fresh reboot you will
get 30 minutes. After 30 minutes you will get the 5 minute warning and
after that Window-Eyes basically shuts down. However, and this is what
is causing the confusion, lets say you just reboot your machine and
launch Window-Eyes and immediately shut it down. If you launch it again
without rebooting (it doesn't matter how long you waited after
restarting it the second time) then you will immediately be put into the
5 minute mode. This is by design. So it is the fact that Window-Eyes
is being started twice that is causing the problem. Loading Window-Eyes
at the log on screen shouldn't count as a first run.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Doug

yeah it's not a big problem but if GW-Micro is going to limit to five
minutes they should put that on there website and not say that it is
30 minutes when it isn't. This is only the case that they have limited
it to five minutes so if this is something wrong with our computers
then forget the statement above. thanks

Shrug. All I know is I had that same thing happen to me and just
dismissed it. It's been the behavior for as far back as I can remember.

this is not true, on GW-Micro's website it states "If you don't
purchase your license number within the time limit, your copy of
Window-Eyes
will revert to a 30 minute demo until you purchase your new license
number." so why would they limit it to five minutes?

Hi,
This is correct. When I had a lease to own the demo time was also five
minutes. I don't think the "demo" that LTO copies of W E reverts to is
the same as the "demo" you can download from the site. LTO copies are
more of a "restricted state" demo. As soon as you get another key
though you'll be fine. In the meantime try downloading NVDA or another
free screen reader. That's what I did until I could pay for another key.

*Subject:* Window-eyes and demo mode
Hi ppl question, I have the long term plan and my window-eyes went
into demo mode after the license expired. Now my first question is how
long is a demo version of window-eyes suppose to last? My only lasted
5 minutes whenever I restarted my computer. As soon as I log in
window-eyes started to say "you have 5 minutes left." I thought that a
demo was suppose to be 45 minutes or is this how it is for a long term
plan? Hopefully somebody can help me. Thank you PS I have paid now so
it is not a problem anymore but if I ever need to be on a demo version
it would be nice to have 45 minutes instead of 5.
