Trial vs. Registered Version

Unit Conversion is shareware. The package can be installed and used "as is" for free. This free trial license is granted indefinitely for personal, educational or non-profit use. Commercial or for-profit use of the program requires registration after a limited 30 day evaluation period.

Some program features are unavailable or limited in "Trial" mode. Specifically;

  • The program must be restarted between calculations.
  • New or updated conversion factor data cannot be saved to the database for use in subsequent calculations.
  • The Excel© add-in must be launched from the ribbon between each calculation.
  • Only five Unit Conversion operations can be performed in a single Excel© session; the spreadsheet must be saved and Excel closed and re-opened in order to enable additional Unit Conversion operations.
  • The "UC" and "MW" functions for Microsoft Excel© are not available in the unregistered version.

For many users, these limitations may not be significant; individuals or non-profit institutions that find the program useful in Trial mode are welcome to continue using it indefinitely. For profit entities must register the software or uninstall the trial version after 30 days.
