I am sorry but I did that also. It went back to the freeware version. I used an image where the SBIE installation was ver5.8 disabled auto-update. Continued to use the activated ver5.8 as normal. When it detected my installation was already expired it asked that the app need be re-activated. When you don't activate it and ignore it will function yes but soon(2 days) it will go back to the freeware version. I did that 3x all the same observation.

On the Bufferzone install, I can't seem to make it work with a full blown firewall in the likes of OA free/Comodo.


I have successfully installed it with AvastFree and Avira Premium(no firewall). Also with trial versions of Avast IS and Avira IS. Seems the firewall component is conflicting with the full blown stand-alone-firewall. All with the proper exclusions. All processes of Comodo/OA free on BZ and vice versa. Same observation. Seems to go on forever in "Preparing your desktop" and then "black desktop"...


Have not tried to install with Outpost Pro yet. But I have an inkling it will be the same.


I ended up using PrevxSafeonline(for Chrome/Opera) + SBIE free(for Firefox) + Avira Premium on this Windows 7 x32 pc.


Have installed it in an XP machine with AvastFree. Seems to be doing okay but the firewall component is very limited and you cannot disable it to have a full blown stand-alone-firewall. It there'd be a possibility of disabling the firewall then BZ would be a great app indeed. The functions are quite good. Very promising. Too bad it's underdeveloped.


Also observed that in Chrome/Iron the BZ red border is not visible. But in the GUI it's listed as protected. You also cannot place a whole folder as excluded/trusted in BZ. You will have to identify and place each process manually. The red-border is visible in Firefox and Opera.


So in the meantime that I have not a license for SBIE the set-up is PrevxSOL facebook edition(also under-developed now) + SBIE free + Avira Premium or Avira Personal or AvastFree.


Have not tried GesWall again though. I have retained the AvastFree + BZ and still observing. Had Process Hacker v2 to augment process termination.

I am afraid indeed that is the deal, damien. Sandboxie with one-year license works like a rent. After it expires and you don't renew, then you won't get any premium features. You are entiled to free updates just like other free users, however.

I though it would still be a PRO- BUT no updates
