    Figured it out. First you need to register an account or log in, then click the profile icon > Redemption code to enter the license.

    This is a 1-computer 300-images lifetime license

    So you only get to do 300 images – but it’s a lifetime lic ???

    [@doc] It provides 300 images. I guess the lifetime lic means you can use these 300 images anytime, no time limit.

    It would be an excellent background eraser but for one thing. The cost of using it. I do a lot of photo editing and would soon use up the 303 uses we get with this limited giveaway. Okay, we get 303 uses for free, but to continue using it thereafter we have to pay almost $2 for each use (unless you buy in bulk e.g. if you buy 1000 uses it costs $0.3 per image. They have an offer on at the moment where buying extra uses costs less e.g. $0.50 per image until Saturday morning; however, overall I’d rather use my free copy of Photoshop v9 (CS2) to get rid of backgrounds than pay such exorbitant prices. Overall this program is just a free demo and more importantly a big rip off.

    That said; if you only use it very infrequently, it’s unlikely you’d use all of the free ones at least not in the next few years, so maybe it’s okay for some community members.

    Sorry for being so negative; I like free software, but not that which has a price at the end of it for continued use. This site has been a fantastic place to visit for many years now and I’ve ended up purchasing upgrade licenses for quite a few software’s that I’ve originally got from this place for free.

    Ridiculous, these giveaways with limited usability.

    Just keep them to yourself and don’t offer them to us.

    This software does a lot better job than most of the other background cutters. And much easier to use than Photoshop. Last time I used PS it did not automatically pick out people from an image to cut out the background. PS also is never owned as you pay monthly for it.
    Most other standalone background cutters always leave a visible jagged edge around the outside of the image that will show up when its superimposed onto another image. It took a while for me to get used to the editing section but it works fine.
    Even in the best software there’s always room for improvements. This one can also be improved. In the ‘manually remove background’ The brush size is very hard to adjust for fine cutting. in the smallest size there’s 1, 4 and then 7 so not suitable to cut out fine inner corners like under armpits etc. It is good that it can pick out several people even in a busy background.
    As for pricing, I would of course like it to be much cheaper but being able to make cut-outs of people in seconds gives me more time to compose a poster. And I must add that the cut-out output PNG file is as large as the input image I am cutting it out from. I use very large images for making A3 and A2 posters so this is a boon. I also made one A0 poster and it came out perfect. Thanks for the free 300 images today. I added it successfully to the 1,000 I bought a few weeks ago.

    I agree with your points and sentiments, however, it is important to understand one misnomer you stated:
    >”PS also is never owned as you pay monthly for it.”
    You never own any software (unless you developed it yourself); instead, we purchase a license to use the software in whatever manner the license allows, whether it be a lifetime license, timed license (expires in n years, etc.), or a subscription-based license. Apowersoft’s Background Eraser’s license is what is offered for free, not the software itself. Promotional (free/reduced price, etc.) licenses can be different from outright purchased licenses in what they allow and offer for services such as support or even features.

    Ideally, we would like to have a lifetime license for each of the software programs we get to try, but there is little incentive for developers to offer such a license if they are in the business of making money from their investment in time in developing, promoting, and supporting their software.

    There was a time when everyone could use PhotoShop of whatever licensed version they could justify in their budget. A lot of those people became great graphic artists, and as such, they were able to justify upgrading their license to a later version. They then carried that expertise into companies that in turn, purchased licenses for the latest versions, which obviously was good business for Adobe. Adobe’s choice of limiting access to a less expensive license for students eliminates a lot of the others that do not qualify as students/teachers, etc. To make up for the loss, Adobe’s subscription license is what many consider “too expensive.”

    Professionals making their living off of full-time graphics work made in PhotoShop, Adobe’s subscription model makes a lot of sense. They pay the price but they always have the latest versions and features. The problem is that it limited a lot of the others that used PhotoShop on a less frequent basis. To add insult to injury, Adobe killed off the licenses of older versions so that they can no longer be activated.

    By limited who can afford a license for PhotoShop, Adobe has opened the doors for many other smaller companies to develop alternatives to do specific tasks, such as Apowersoft’s Background Eraser. They also allowed Open Source alternatives, such as Gimp, and a few lesser-known ones to grow and become viable solutions for many users.

    Sometimes, business decisions come back around years down the road as the superior choice. Linux is an Open Source operating system based on AT&T/Bell Labs UNIX. Linux has become so successful, these days, you hardly ever hear of UNIX. Further down the road, companies such as Apowersoft may be the dominant supplier of graphic software, or it could be one of the Open Source programs that eventually become so common that hardly anyone remembers PhotoShop.
