Stephen,
Surfulater must be running in Free Reader mode, not as a Free Trial. This will happen if you’ve previously installed Surfulater on this PC and your free trial period is over.

To start a fresh free trial period you need to UnInstall Surfulater and Delete the My Documents\My Surfulater folder. It is also adviseable to use Start|Run|Regedit and Delete: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Soft As It Gets\Surfulater.

Free Reader mode enables you to share content with people that don’t own a copy of Surfulater. ie. It works like Adobe Reader.

If anyone has a problem or suggestion for Surfulater I would urge you to either contact me directly or post on our support forums. Details for both can be found at: http://www.surfulater.com/contact.html

Thanks to everyone for the feedback on Surfulater.
