Installed and registered without problems on a Win 8.1.3 Pro 64 bit system.
The software comes preregistered.

An Ukrainian company with names, pictures of the members and phone&address. As it should be...

We had a previous version CHM Editor 1.3.3.4 on January 27, 2009, and in 2007 and 2008.
Here are the very old reviews:

CHM? This is/was the Windows compressed HTML format for the help files. Does anybody still use this outside help files for windows? It became .LIT and is now in greatest partes replaced by the EPUB format.
But if anybody still want to write CHM files, okay this software should help.

Upon start... What a good looking interface! Irina Gridina, well made!

I loaded their CHM help file, easy to understand, but... A BIG BUT

I wanted to have a look at one of the pictures. Are you kidding me??? The image editor is only for the professional version?

Hmmm, a well made editor, still - but no way to work with images? My test stopped here.

Uninstalled via reboot. What a pity, Irina...

I agree, it doesn't seem worth a test drive with a version that isn't inclusive of the tools the average person would want and need. It seems like maybe the Home Version should be free, and the Professional (or regular) version would normally be for a fee. It seems more than crippled, but hardly worth while. I appreciate the offer, but I will look forward to test driving the Professional version, hopefully sometime in the future.

"System Requirements: Windows NT 4.0/ 2000/ XP/ 2003/ Vista"

Is this a joke? No modern OS supported? I once wrote a program that ran on windows 3.1. Maybe I should offer it here...

Dear Craig,
sorry for this mistake. CHM Editor works on Windows Vista/7/8.0/8.1/10 too.

There's really no use for this giveaway. I imported a help file. Added a few words. Saved the file. Seems useless. Maybe I am missing something here. What can this giveaway accomplish? I didn't see how you could convert an ebook to CHM file... The import only allowed CHM files to be opened. No picture support. No way to save into different formats. I understand the company wants to convert giveawayoftheday customers to buying customers, but I think you have to actually "give away" something that is at least partially beneficial. This giveaway is basically a trial version that has almost zero functionality.

My suggestion is for them to give a full version for a year. Then once users are "hooked" on using the program they should be willing to buy. Basically, you gave a crippled version that really allows no testing or learning of the usefulness of the program.

Maybe it is just me.. Perhaps I have overlooked something and I apologize upfront if my opinion was short-sighted.
