FZ200 Loc: New York

I am trying to purchase Silkypix 10 Pro, in English, for my trusty Panasonic FZ200.
Downloaded for a trial and was quite happy with the product, but when tried to
use it today, got a message the free trial expired. Fine. The price is good, so tried to buy it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there seems no way to do that! I'd expect the "trial expired"
message would direct me to purchasing procedure, but instead I was told to "register".
Uninstalling and purchasing without a trial did not work either: the web pages are messy,
asking e.g. for my birth date, believe it or not, and other nonsense.
So, I searched for some other source than "Ichikawa Soft Laboratory Co., Ltd." -- no luck.

I would drop it but, in my opinion, it's a good product at a reasonable price. Does anybody
know who else is selling it in the U.S.?
Sorry to bother you friends with such a boring business...

I copied the company's name and did a Bing search. There were no blurbs that said anything bad about them.
Here's a copy of the link and some info on registering.
BTW having to give a birth date is tad suspicious unless they're giving me a new Subaru for my birthday.
If putting in you birth date...lie. I always change my year of birth.

I have a licensed copy of Pro 10. It is an excellent raw converter. I bought it direct from https://shop.isl.co.jp/?lang=en
You're dealing direct with Japan and you're going to encounter some cultural differences. Yep, they want you to register an account. I say do it and get the software you want.

Thanx, but this does not help... they ask me to "register" but if I go there,
they want the key. When I downloaded for trial, no key was given! It was just
a download and installing. And I did not find a way to buy it, and pay for it,
for crying out loud, without their precious key.
But they only let you download and install for trial, but not a simple buy. Amazing.

Thanx, but the link you helpfully offered, gives Japanese text.
I will try tomorrow...

Try looking at the pull down menus & look for “about”.

Thank you, Indi. I will try some more later tomorrow.

There has to be a way. I have silkypix developer studio 7 and their jpeg photography 9. I can't remember how I did it, but I bought from them twice so it isn't impossible. And no, I don't read Japanese.
