Summary:
Isn't that special!
Comment:
On the case it says "SPECIAL EDITION". When installed it says that it is a starter edition. Many of the menu functions are locked out. If all that you are trying to do is to organize your family tree and print simple reports this edition will do that. Mostly this "SPECIAL EDITION" teases you with what it does not do and invites you to purchase an upgrade. The "free" 30-day subscription to OneWorldTree requires a credit card and a subscription that must then be canceled to avoid charges.

Summary:
This is a DEMO VERSION
Comment:
I'm not sure that Family Tree Maker could be more confusing in the way they offer their products. Can you name every difference between:
- the "Special Edition"
- the "Starter Edition"
- the "Standard Edition"
- the "Deluxe Edition"
- the "Essentials"
- the "JewelCase" version
- the "Premium" version
or the "Collector's Edition"?
Or what about some products available on the FamilyTreeMaker.com website like:
- "Family Tree Maker 2006 Advanced DVD"
- "Family Tree Maker 2006 Basic DVD"
Unless you've personally purchased all of these versions your answer is, of course, "No". Why? Because the descriptions of each one are deceptively similar even though the prices range from $7.99 to $89.99, some of them look to be identical.
Well, I'm here to warn you that THIS version, called the "Jewel Case", also known as the "Special Edition" (according to the box) and referred to as the "Starter Edition" by the people at MyFamily.com... THIS version should be FREE. Why? Because it's basically a demo.
Of course, nothing in the description indicates this fact. It has the same description as some other versions of the Family TreeMaker software, but it's NOT. If you buy this, you'll find yourself needing to "upgrade" to use all the functions.
If you Google, you can find this as a free download from FamilyTreeMaker.com as well.
BUYER BEWARE!
