I also appreciate your choosing to respond. I urge you however to find some way to allow people to *access* (not add to, not manipulate but just access) data after the end of a trial period. I have every sympathy with your not wanting people to use your product actively (ie add new questionnaires, recruit more people) longer than a trial period but I was frustrated that I could not even look at my existing data. I recognise that this may be difficult to implement - in that case perhaps you could allow people to return to their data after the trial period for periods of only a few minutes at a time - too short to do anything significant that is new but long enough to browse around their data.

The Student Research Sponsorhip that we offer is fairly simple - Its free for students, for 6 months. Not 7 months, not 5 months. This is clearly documented here (See under what QP Provides): http://www.questionpro.com/student-research/ So, I think its unfair when you "grumble" about a FREE license that is valid for 6 months! QP _did_ provide you with the service or hosting, collecting and providing analysis tools for 6 months as licensed. I dont know of _any_ other provider that gives a free service like this and that is reasonably powerful. David,
