HELP PLEASE! Free version no longer free

No the Free Edition is different which you get from here https://www.solarwinds.com/free-tools/free-help-desk-software.

It has Approvals, Assets disabled from the start.

That is where I got it from.

Just downloaded the latest 12.8.3 and I agree it looks like the trial version rather than free version! I thought things like Assets, Action Rule, Approvals 

Thank you! Didn't think I was going daft so soon.

It'll be interesting to see what happens in 8 days, my new clean install of the free version will expire.
I'm still running 12.8.2.1372
I'll report back then

It's Friday (yay) & my 'free' version says I have 0 days left (after midday in New Zealand)

It'll be interesting to see what it says on Monday (yuk)

Heyy,

We are working on the same

Will be interesting, I suspect this free version is actually a trial version but we will see on Monday!

Here we are 0800 on Monday morning & It's showing

Lets see what it's like after lunch, then I'll start with a WHD restart, then a system restart.

Restarting WHD killed the free license

So, now I'll backup my DB, blow away that VM, start & update my template VM & install 12.8.3

Now running 12.8.3 - Build #12.8.3.1813
Nice how it automatically updated my SQL DB from 12.8.2 to 12.8.3

Here we go again with 14 days
