Just a followup: I called Insignia Tech Support. They informed me that there was no demo available for public distribution, and confirmed using the serial number that the copy posted had been sold commerically. Therefore the posted copy is a pirated version. I would strongly advise everyone to remove that file from any computer system one might have control over. Insignia will be investigating this matter itself.
