After reviewing the license agreement for AdSubtract SE v1.68 and
AdSubtract SE v2.31 it would appear that AdSubtract SE v1.68 may not be
the Last Freeware Version.
From the AdSubtract SE v2.31 License:
License Grant. Licensor grants you and you accept the nonexclusive
right to install and use this copy of the AdSubtract SE software program
(hereinafter "AdSubtract") on multiple computers. AdSubtract is
provided free of charge for personal use at home only. If the use of
AdSubtract is for business or professional use, including use by
government, non-profit and educational institutions, you may use
AdSubtract for evaluation purposes only for a maximum 30 day period
("Evaluation License"). Upon expiration of the 30 day evaluation
period, you must uninstall AdSubtract immediately and, if you wish to
continue to use AdSubtract software, please upgrade to AdSubtract PRO or
another paid version of AdSubtract software.
The above text is identical to that found in the License for AdSubtract
SE v1.68.
An interesting aside is what I found in the AdSubtract Pro v3.0 License:
9. You may use The Software freely for an evaluation period of thirty
(30) days from the day you first install it. After the end of the 30-day
evaluation period, you may continue to use the trial version of The
Software for personal use at home only. Some features of The Software
may be disabled after the evaluation period is ended. If you wish to use
The Software on a computer owned or used by a business, governmental
entity, non-profit or educational institution past the end of the 30-day
evaluation period, you must obtain a paid license. Trial versions of The
Software are not entitled to any upgrades or updates of software or
configuration files, including any filtering or scanning database. Paid
versions of The Software are entitled to one year of free updates to The
Software and The Software's database, as these become available.
After the Trial Period AdSubtract Pro v3.0 may become equivalent to
AdSubtract SE with no limitation on length of use for the Home User.
