I'm trying to avoid the free trial to be honest. If I'm going to commit to a compiler, I want it to work the same way, essentially forever. What if I work on this project, finish it within 60 days, then want to add a feature at day 75? I am happy to use the trial if I am reasonably sure I'm going to purchase it when the trial ends, but not as a means to do one project.
