After installation, the license manager says it's only free for 30 days ???
Curt:
- you have to register. As with any other Office pack you will have to give it a/your name as Author before creating your first document, and that is all - that is the registration - they don't even ask for an email address. But you cannot fill out "Organisation", because that will move the license from Private freeware user to company shareware user.

MerleOne:
Thanks, I thought I registered it the way you indicated, but I may have missed something.
Regarding Office compatibility itself, I have found something a bit annoying when you go from Excel to Kingsoft and back : I had a sheet where I have the excel formula for multiplying one matrix by another. I opened the sheet without any apparent pb with Kingsoft, the resulting matrix of the product was ok, excep it was now static, and just the values had been kept, so any change in the multiplied matrix would have no effect. Since there is no warning, it's a bit of a problem...
Anyway, for people that don't need to use both suites, it looks like a nice product.

wonder what the situation is with it for commercial usage -
I dont see any buy links at their site... I'm just curious really, like Darwin I have my share of office software installed, esp considering I hardly ever use the stuff :-[)
lanux128:
yesterday a local tech-mag did a write-up on Kingsoft quoting the price for the suite at around US$110 (via a local reseller).
