Which looks to me to be....  Payware
There's a demo that turns crippleware afer 30 days.
"Limitations of unregistered/demo version:

  a.. max. 5 volumes per database
  b.. disabled import and export
  c.. all databases will become read-only after 30 days "

The only freeware is a viewer for the DBs created by the payware.
