Whether people perceive that in the future, time will only tell. Paramount should not underestimate why many people choose Reflect - they are seen as a company who cares and could be trusted unlike their main competitor (I certainly fell 100% into that category). I know many bought a paid licence as they were so impressed with free version, and wanted to support an excellent product. For clarity I have 9 paid licences, so I am not personally affected by stopping the free version, but I can state categorically, it was use of the free version and total respect and admiration for the product that led me to buy 9 licences. I have read similar sentiments on other sites. I was always happy to recommend free version, and point out benefits of paid version. I am not prepared to be become an unpaid salesman for a paid Reflect version. Personally, with a heavy heart reading statement below, I will now be advising people to use AOMEI Backupper as their introduction to imaging. I understand in these more difficult times why it has been decided to stop free versions, but hope it does not backfire. It states unequivocally one trial ends, you will be able to recover backups but nothing else.
