Is the Trail of VMS 16 a bust?

This trial version may not let you find out if the update is a good fit for you or not. It seems that you can only render a 2 minute video and you are limited to easy/novice mode. You can't adjust the rendering template either. I require expert mode in order to evaluate whether I'm going to spend $140 on an upgrade.

@huskereurocat that is interesting that the trial will not go into expert mode.

Otherwise I see the upgrade to suite is only $90 USD. I have the 16 version but never installed the trial. I do remember users stating that the render time length restriction is about 2 minutes, but that I would not think would prevent evaluation. Not allowing expert mode of course would.

Did you download the trial of the normal version or of the platinum version?

A two minute render should be sufficient to judge.

An upgrade to VMS16 platinum costs almost 50$ not 140$.
