Its not base on when you download it is base on when you click to try it. They send an email to you saying the trial has started as soon as the email is sent whether you download then or not. I did not know this thinking I could download and instal when I was ready, clicked the link for a free trial. Did not know by clicking the link and providing my details effectively commenced the free trial. Based on that experience I probably would not do business with that company now. I like companies who state the important information up front, mot afterwards once they have your interest. Just their marketing strategy but its not for me.
