No, I don't get that message, at least not anymore anyway. Granted, it has been a few years since I bought DBP, so maybe things are different now but I would be a little surprised if they are.
shaunrw:
Did you originally have the DBP trial installed? If so, I would uninstall DBP completely (unless you deleted it, you should have the downloaded .rar file from the 90MB version - DON'T delete that). I would do a search on your computer to make sure it is all gone. I would then reinstall DBP from the .rar file.
If this doesn't work, you could always contact TGC support directly.
I hope this helps,
