Well my experience with populace wasn't great. They let me buy the software at a discounted price since they wanted some people to review their software. After trying it out I was having a bad time with it. Back then they didn't have any good documentation, so it was rather hard for me to figure out what to do really. Later they promised to send me a check for the amount i paid and they let me keep populace for free, which was great only problem was that I un-installed it. I never got a check in the mail for the money nor do i have a key for it. I remember even when i 1st got it, it wouldn't work right. They had to send me all this other stuff. Long story short I upgraded to commercial and that was it. I wish they would give me my populace key back at least.. I'd love to try it again. but oh well
