Version: Starry Night Backyard ESD 3.1.2
Cons: didn't even use it. No matter how many times I E-mailed these people, I never recieved my regestration code to activate the program. So, I say it's a piece of junk. Their "help" was NO HELP whatsoever.

Version: Starry Night Backyard ESD 3.1.2
Cons: I NEVER got to try it. Apparently, you have to enter a name ('trial") and a regestration code. I was directed to the page where the so-called 'regestration code" was, but it was a blank page. I e-mailed support and have been waiting three whole days for my "claim ticket" to be read. If I were you, I'd listen to me, and read "R"'s reveiw also.
