This statement by the Admin in March HERE said the "forced update" (time bomb) wouldn't be removed until the last release before the PAID version (answers my question from above if it really happened).
I agree, it must be removed going forward for all the reasons previously mentioned on this topic...

New version unfortunately is timebombed again, but with a longer date.
v5.5.2.0 expires at 2028-04-27 00:00:00, last version without timebomb is v5.4.2.5.

Yes, the version without time restrictions is V5.4.2.5. We have previously mentioned that we will re-enable time restrictions after the paid version is released.

The core system backup, restore, and cloning features are free. This includes features like delta restore and system cloning, which are often paid features or simply unavailable in other software. We believe this free offering is more than adequate for the vast majority of personal users.

In my opinion, all you will get is that the vast majority of users will stick with version 5.4.2.5

You might be right. I know everyone thinks we'll eventually abandon the free version, and that's the root of the problem. We'll consider your suggestion.

Is there a way to trial the Pro version? I want to see what the differences are in my environment.

Well, that is a bummer. I would have bought the paid version since I use LTSC Enterprise, but I do not pay for software with a time bomb in it, or a subscription (same thing).
What if I am without internet at the time it expires? What if the newer version is problematic for me for some reason? What if the company that took my money folds and disappears? This has happened to me many times already.
$55-200 is not cheap software either. If it was $10-20 I may take the risk, but not for $50+.
Sorry, but NOPE!
