- Just a followup:
-
- I called Insignia Tech Support. They informed me that there was no
- demo available for public distribution, and confirmed using the
- serial number that the copy posted had been sold commerically.
- Therefore the posted copy is a pirated version.
-
- I would strongly advise everyone to remove that file from any computer
- system one might have control over. Insignia will be investigating
- this matter itself.

- Regards.
