Some points from me IMHO:

- new SFX Installer/Unpacker is a good thing

- that you want the people come to your side, see other soft and maybe donate
I could understand and it's legitim

- the 15 day nag is ok too

But i can't understand why your FREEWARE stops working after 45 days ?
Iam think not all people of the world want to read long terms of lizenzes
or web sides with infos about other apps or donations.
Because not all are good in english understanding.

*I* found it better that the start of your soft delays for one minute
or save only in one format or something like that the people could live with.

I often tryed software and forgot them for a few weeks
because i don't need them. If i now out for vacation
and come back and my mouser soft want not to start anymore
i would search for an other soft without this bandages
 (maybe i don't understand right what happens 'cus i don't understand english).


So i suggest first an better way to woo the people to your side
and second to include a few readmes in foreign languages (german i could do :) )
to make this politic understandable for non-english people.

To stop the soft to work is the worst way (IMHO!!!)

better maybe
- start delay (1 minutes after 45 days, 2 minutes after 60 days,...)
- crippled features
- "created with..." branding on all shots after 45 days
- don't store the settings anymore after 45days

How did SC know that i get an lizenz ? Would there be an extra file ?
Or an item in the INI (what i would prefer) ?

And why must i did an extra 360kB download for tools i don't need or already have ? (FTP and ColorCop)
Wouldn't be an extra download link to download the colorcop more nifty for people how don't have it ?
(the 24kB FTPcmd don't matter, thought)
I know already people how work with an 56k Modem  :) or ISDN

Sinse i read the forum what mouser wants to improve a lot
* Clipboard manager
* Notes tool
* little data base
* .... what i've forgoten

there must be an name how supports all thoose features.

Just on the search .....    :)
