It is the same license as the downloaded copy.  It does not come with 
support, but you can "register" it online.  I am not sure where you 
read it is "_not_ licensed for free use", but it is the same as what 
can be downloaded, on most of it anyway, so I am not sure how the 
licensing is different.  Also I have read all the readme's  and docs 
included and I could find no such statement as "_not_ licensed for free 
use".  Can you help me find these details about how it is "_not_ 
licensed for free use" so I do not use it improperly?
