Well I downloaded the trial for this software and installed it but I would like to cancel my trial because it says that if I don't then it will bill me $200

Thanks for the unhelpful post
I've tried searching on their website and Googling the question but it just says that I should cancel it but not HOW to cancel it

sbtamu, its a legitimate question. I don't like thiskind of process where you have to give you cc details in order to just download a trial.
Dyson, i will try and see if i can find some info for you.
how long do you have left on your trial? Maybe if you contacted support directly at content paradise or from smith micro but i am looking for an answer for you myself.

They let me have a trial without giving my credit card number, and the world didn't end.
They should just let everyone do it. It's really no big deal.

oOo tough crowd!
The only reason I can see for this long winded approach to not getting charged for software you don't want to buy, is to get the frustrated to give up and take a $200 hit. Why not make a desirable app instead?
Imagine if, once you tried on clothes in a shop, your cash is withheld from you until you expressly state in writing to one of the sales reps that you were not interested in purchasing!

Exactly. This is just a 30-day money back guarantee, just dressed up as a "free" demo. While I don't think SM are hoping people will give up and let them keep the money, I do think it's unnecessary and it's hurting the potential market.
Didn't Animation Master use to only have a 30 day MBG? And then they added a cheaper rental model because they were losing sales?
