Or PureBasic Lite/Light.

More people might also try the demo if it were clearer that it isn't time limited.

Best to be direct and just call it 'PureBasic Free'.

I've seen one version of BASIC that calls their restricted demo version a "Learning Edition".

I'd like to install several versions of PureBasic on the same machine (boxed, 4.61 demo and 4.61 full). Would this cause any problems?

As long as you install them into different directories and use the "/PORTABLE" parameter when starting the IDE, everything should work without problems.
If any of you native English speakers have any suggestions for the above text, please let me know (via PM). Thanks!

Thanks. I also had to set the program to be run as an administrator in the desktop shortcut properties in Windows 7 for it to be able to save the preferences file in the new location.
