Hi,

I own a copy of DBP and have my product key stored in my email, but I'm on vacation without my disc and in the mood to join the intel competition. If I download the free version can I activate it with my paid version key?

cheers,
Draknir

The ads in the free version are only in the editor. If you use another IDE then you won't have ads.
