It's a pity that there is no demo or testversion, or any other way to try before buy. (The software is at a quite high price level.)
I find it a bit strange that customers have to ask for the software updates at the forum as long as there is dedicated pages for 'software owners only'.
But as far as I can see at the forum, Dan gives the customers really great support and service.
Btw, Klaus at EMC offer a '4 days working demo version' if someone ask for it. But anyway, a demo version don't necessarily have to be complete to give a clue about how it works on the equipment possible buyers use.
Just sayin'.
