SE versions
Has anoyne ever determined how PI's SE versions differ from the full one?

SE versions are free and come bundled with hardware. These are usually not fully functional but allow for an evaluation of the program by a potential user.
With full versions of PI there are extensive components which can be downloaded as well as bonus programs. These are usually not supplied with SE versions.

OK, but WHAT is crippled? Can you give an example?heinz-oz wrote:SE versions are free and come bundled with hardware. These are usually not fully functional but allow for an evaluation of the program by a potential user.
I guess the additional software is not shipped. Is it the same for "contents"?heinz-oz wrote: With full versions of PI there are extensive components which can be downloaded as well as bonus programs. These are usually not supplied with SE versions.

It entirely depends on what the hardware manufacturer paid for when getting the authorization from Ulead to bundle an SE version with their hardware. It varies from program to program as well as version numbers.
As far as I know, there is no rule of thumb to determine what may or may not be included in an SE version. After all, it is only bundled with the hardware to give its purchaser a workable solution to start with.
If you like the software and would like the full working version, the majority of SE versions, but not all, qualify for an upgrade to the latest version within a reasonable time frame.
