The demo should allow you to log in before beginning its time limit,
but it's possible that you have a case that we've not counted for. We
will investigate. In the meantime, if you do find yourself using the
demo version, simply disable the Before Login startup option to maintain
your full 30 minutes until you're able to pay for a new license. Of
course, all this will be moot when you pay off your LTO and receive a
full copy of Window-Eyes.

I am confused? I think you try to say that when you close window-eyes
without restarting your computer and then start it up again it will
give you the five minute mode? if this is so I do not do this. I turn
off my computer or restart it. as soon as my license expired it went
into the five minute mode. So when I had 0 days left and then I shut
it down for the night, the next day when I opened my computer it only
gave me five minutes. It never gave me 30 minutes no matter how many
times I turned off or restarted my computer. could it be that my
window-eyes is counting the log in screen as a start up?

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.
