Trial or free versions of software.. any good?

Looking at downloading either trial versions or free versions of SPSS & Dreamweaver. Does anyone know whether they work well with the full, paid for, versions of the software? I need them for uni work.

Dreamweaver is usually just time limited, with no features reduced.

Dunno about SPSS.. i just used excel for my stats

Obviously the trials will be time limited, but you should be able to get a education version of both, which are the full standard versions, but only available to education/student users.

Dreamweaver is sold as an education version from Education resellers, and your Uni may well have links to buy it even cheaper via higher education contracts. Check the Adobe website for more info.

SPSS can also be purchased cheaply for students, I had it for £15 when at Uni
Ask the IT support desk at your Uni.

I can get a copy of SPSS from uni for £40, but need it for over Christmas, so a trial version will have to do for now.

Can't use Excel for Stats, we have to use SPSS for some bizarre reason.

I am aware that the trial software has a limited time period, but it will suffice for my needs at the moment. Just wondering whether they work ok when used with the full purchased software.

File formats aren't modified for trial versions So long as there is a save button, you'll be able to open it in the full version of the application. Good luck
