Evertime I open Mobysaurus, which is installed with a permanent license key ( *r1;ewT43 ... AeXpEk= ), I get the message "Your temporary license has now expired. This program is free but.... Would you like to visit
https://www.donationcoder.com/Keys/?" My name and email address appear in the 'About / License Information' panel. I have reinstalled this key several times but the response remains the same. I think this is the second key I have received for Mobysaurus. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help.
Comments on
Mobysaurus: I like the extensive list of synonyms and associated words. The only feature I would suggest is some kind of organization to the words, e. g., (i) by syntactical type: nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, phrases, etc., like
Roget's International Thesaurus; or (ii) clustered according to meaning associations like
StarDictionary or
VisualThesaurus. However, the word list, although often extensive, is well chosen. I find it superior to
WordWeb, which (i) often uses the word being defined in the definition of that word !? and (ii) often seems to lack any discrimination in the extended list of synonymous and similar words, e. g., pressing 'Type of' or 'Types' tabs eventually lists "abstract entity" and a few other nebulous terms for almost every word searched. So although
WordWeb has a better formal structure,
Mobysaurus has better content. The best (most perspicuous explanations of distinctions) printed source I have found is
Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Synonyms, but it is not available in electronic form. (From thesaurus suggestions, my final choices are based on
Oxford English Dictionary and
Webster's Third New International Dictionary.) Anyway, thanks for
Mobysaurus; even if no changes are made, it is a very useful tool.
