WPS: the best replacement of MS Office, free for none-biz
tomos:
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)

so Softmaker Office sill comes in cheaper (for commercial use) at just under $80
lanux128:
actually i haven't tried either of the suites but Kingsoft mention on their website that the "latest version is a free to try, non-restricted version of these three office applications" (emphasis mine).
WP:
I just installed it. However after giving a name when registering, there is still a 30-day time limit. As a test, I change the clock via Control Panel to June 2009. Kingsoft Office 2007 would not load the individual components. Instead, it asks me for a serial number.
If somebody else has installed this & bypassed the time restriction, please tell me EXACTLY how this is done. Perhaps this program is just not free, but simply a 30-day trial version.
tsaint:
I didn't do anything special...on first use I put in my name, then that seemed to be the end of it. It doesn't indicate any time limit that I can see,
and in the about screen, says simply that it's licensed to me.
WP:
What do you have listed under Help / Product Management Center for the various components?
Mine now says: (Can Use 29 days)
