Mitchell -
It used to be possible, and I believe still is possible with the new
version of the FLEX license manager, to get an IDL trial license from RSI
(with all capabilities of the paid-up version), for any length of time
upon which you and your RSI sales rep agree. (But I wouldn't try asking
for much longer than 45 days....)

I just received a correction from someone at Precision Visuals.
These limits only apply to the IDL free trial. PV-WAVE does
not limit what the free trial version can do.
The only limit the free trial version of PV-WAVE has
is that it only works for 30-45 days, a limitation the
free trial version of IDL does not impose.
I apologize for my error.
