    Hmmm… I used to have a free version of LO. Now when I install this I seem to have a 30 day trial?

    There are two levels of functionality in V1.x of LightsOut. You get the full functions for 30 days then it reverts to a free version with some functions disabled.
    See original 1.0 release notice here with the details – http://usingwindowshomeserver.com/2009/12/20/lights-out-windows-home-server-add-in-version-1-0-released/

    You’re using version 0.8? Since 1.0 Lights-Out is avaliable in two editions: a free Community Edition and a licensed edition.
    See here for a comparison: http://www.home-server-blog.de/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/featurematrix2.png

    An expired trial changes into the free Community Edition.
