30 day trial period?

[The Vulpan]

I bought Airline Tycoon Evolution years ago, but i never really understood it. I replayed it recently and have been really enjoying it. But mid-way through the "The final frontier" mission. A popup appeared asking me for a code from a certain paragraph of the manual. I cant find the code and my game terminated by saying my 30 day trial period had expired.

I dont know if this is just a bug left over from the Demo version, or some anti piracy method, but i really need to know if there is a fix for this, or if it only effects that mission.

If there is no fix and it is the same for all missions and freeplay. Then can someone tell me if anyone is having this issue on Airline Tycoon Deluxe (Steam). As i may have to rebuy the game.

Edit: I mean, the game terminates after 30 INGAME days not 30 IRL days

Hey Foxminer.

This is the first i´ve heard of this bug.
Could you send me a email to [e-mail] and i will forward this to our QA so we can work with in private without having to give a lot of your information away on a public forum.

Please include a link to this topic within the email.

This is not a bug. It is something you'll experience in AT Evo only, not in Deluxe (steam).
But it is very easy to pass by really. I have played Evolution some years ago.

Thank you, it is nice to know that the deluxe version doesnt have this issue. Also another related issue has occured. The require words it asked me for either didnt appear on the list or didnt work when typed in.

So what do you recommend? Buy Deluxe on steam for a reduced price or be in constant worry about my game suddenly ending? I love this game, but until recently i haven't been able to play long enough for this 30 day trial issue to be a problem.
