I try to run it, it says my trial days have run out.

gives me 2 options

register / continue

if i register it wants $20 , fair enough. but do we have to?

If I continue it takes me to register (loop) or exit ( closes program)

Is this normal , I thought in spoons video on MIRC he says we dont have to register it ?

I cant view the video, my broadband is a limper.
