I was looking over the trial version of CCD Inspector, which I had downloaded and installed about 1.5 hours earlier, when it unexpectedly closed. I had the real time curvature monitor open (even though I did not have a camera connected) and I right clicked on the window and clicked on one of the options in the fly-out window (at this point I am not sure which option). This is when the program closed. The help window remained open. When I tried to reopen the program, I received a message which indicated that the trial period had expired and I had to enter license information to continue. As I mentioned above I had installed the program only ~1.5 hours prior to this so there should be 30 days left on the trial period.

Does anyone have any idea why this happened and is there any way to reset the trial period. I was hoping to try it out this weekend and was looking at the programs functions and help file so that I would have some idea of how to operate the program when I was able to get my scope out.

As a note I tried to restart my computer to see if the problem was something in resident memory that might have caused the problem. Unfortunately this did not help.
