YAMAHA SoftSynthesizer Information A) Purchasing to upgrade to a full license The SoftSynthesizer is not sold as a "full commercial version." After you have tried out the trial version, you may purchase and download a Key Program (subsequently referred to as "KeyPRG") which can be installed to defeat the expiration date (without un-installing the trial version). Two versions of KeyPRG are available. - 20v3key: For the S-YG20 V.3 trial version - 50v3key: For the S-YXG50 V.3 trial version "KeyPRG" will work (i.e., will defeat the expiration date) even on an installed trial version whose expiration date has already elapsed. It will also work on all trial versions that are minor updates (increases in version number below the decimal point), so you will always be able to use the latest version with a full license. < To purchase, please contact > http://www.yamaha.co.uk/shop/home.asp B) Un-installation procedure < Un-installing the SoftSynthesizer > 1.
