Pros
-nothing at all.
Cons
-I supported the developer and paid for the program, but it doesn't start, I get this error message: http://i.imgur.com/LMh7kx1.png -I emailed the creator and he won't respond back!
Summary
Very disappointed the creator isn't responding to my question. This is why so many people steal software. I refuse to however and occasionally get burned.
