Well, the problem is I said hm, lemme look at this months ago. And
now it's expired. Now we have a better tool in the form of Shirley's
book to help understand InDesign.
I have no desire to violate the license or use it for production work
or whatever. I don't know exactly what the answer would be to this
situation - a legitimate need to try a product, Adobe's need to
ensure that it is not "tried" for production use forever.
And thus the 30 day limit... really, that's about all they can do for
you (I'd much rather time-limited demos than crippled demos). Demos
aren't meant for doing development against (if Adobe was in a different
kind of market, with much steeper pricing, they'd probably have cheap
or even free developer's licenses, but that wouldn't work very well for
them - everyone would just buy the dev license if they could, and
pretend what they're doing is not production).
I think if you're going to be making real money on it, the licenses are
reasonable - find a sugar daddy client to buy it for you, or form a
group, share the costs of a license, and then pass it between members
of the group (much as a company might do with a license). Just don't
violate the terms and you're cool. I've often thought of doing this as
part of a developer's collective... sort of a software library for
members/owners. As long as you're not allowing multiple simultaneous
copies/users, it should be kosher with most licenses. IANAL, of course!
