Difference between "Try it"-version and client

from Stardock Forums
Hi everyone!
I just downloaded the test-version of DesktopX and I was wondering what the client which you can buy for $14.95 has got what the just downloaded version does not have? Or are they the same and the "try it"-version simply stops working after some time?

I downloaded some widgets from Wincustomize and they work, so where's the sense in buying the client?

Can anybody please enlighten me?

Once the trial stops working so do the widgets, as far as I know.

The client doesn't allow you to create your own objects/widgets/desktop = you can only use what has been created and in a lot of cases can't modify those to suite

"Try it" means Demo version and "Client" means standard version. For more info: https://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/purchase.asp

Yeah, you got it... You know, I bought Windowblinds a week ago. Tested it first with the demo version and if I remember correctly the demo cleary said what you would get in the full version. What I expected from the DesktopX demo was to show a window saying something like "this and that only available in the full version". But this didn't happen, thus my question...

@Bichur: Thanks, that is what I wanted to know...

@BX: Thanks, I already found that page but it only shows the difference between client, standard and pro. How does the demo fit in? Is this a demo of the client version?

@all: Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to save money, I just want to know what I'm paying for before I do so...

Thanks!

Never used the demo, but one way to see is right click the tray icon and see if you have a 'change to builder' option - if you do, then it's a demo of standard, if not then it's a demo of client = as far as I know, the client doesn't have a 'builder' option for creation
