Sorry, that's right, the fully-functional time-sensitive demo versions are

*very* sensitive to changes in the computer's clock. In some cases even a

network time change has triggered the failsafe.


It's a problem we're trying to solve better, because with web tools it's

paramount to be able to examine the final export, and yet we still sorta

have to pay the rent on the building.... ;)


If you have more than one computer, then the second will be able to install

the Fireworks public beta... just don't change the clock. The next release

will be able to write over the existing one, and so you'll be able to work

with the next Fireworks on that machine again.
