I initially installed Software Ideas Modeller on my machine for commercial use. The 10 day trial is over and I now want to use it for private use. I tried uninstalling and re-downloading and re-installing the software but when I try to open up the newly installed version, it still says my 10 day licence is over and I must pay to keep using the software for commercial use.
How do I go about now using the software for non-commercial purposes?

RE: Mr.
You have to delete the local settings for Software Ideas Modeler, which you can find (by default) in C:\Users\{Your_User_Name}\AppData\Local\Dušan_Rodina\SoftwareIdeasModeler.exe_*

RE:
Firstly I want to say that I respect your opinions.
There is a lot of projects, where open source approach works and it works well. But there is also a lot of examples, where it caused problems.
Depending on what I know, the successful projects as Mozilla Firefox, Chrome, Linux, etc. have sponsors which fund the core development and developers. I think it would be problem to find such sponsors or another source of finance for Software Ideas Modeler.
I have made several investigations about open-source donationwares, which include similar software and software from completely different category but with 20-50x more users. The published sum of donations of these softwares (with a wider user base than SIM) is not sufficient for full time development.
There is also an option to do this project only as hobby, but this would radically reduce the dedicated time for it.
When one is a student, it can be fun to develop tens of hours a week on meaningful project for free, but later one finds it is not possible to work so much besides the full-time job. So the project has to be not only meaningful, not only fun, but also has to be paid (at least to cover monthly expenses of developer).
P.S. I am considering some kind of shared code license, which would allow to share source codes with companies, which purchase the license.
I have an Entity Relation Diagram and need to generate C# code for each entity. But when I selected the entity, C#, and the output directory, then clicked Generate button, nothing was generated. Can you help?

RE: Generate C# code from ERD
In this version, templates for C# don't support the code generation from ER diagrams. I will add the support for them in the next version. Meanwhile you can use Diagram/Convert To/Class Diagram and generate the code from class diagram.
Love the tool -> thanks for the hard work on it. Two questions please.
1. I have 2 states that transition between each other. Typically, I draw these in 2 separate transition lines. Its just the way I am used to seeing it. Your SDM wants to draw 1 line and show both transitions that way. Can you show in 2 separate lines?
2. How can I have a transition from a given state to it's self? Typically this is shown in a curved line that exits and returns to said state.

RE: Transition ?
You're welcome.
1. Draw the first transition. Adjust positions of its start and end point. Draw the second transition. (In the next major version, I plan to add auto-adjusting of transitions to not overlap.)
2. Start to draw the transition on state and move slightly the cursor so that it doesn't leave the bounds of states.
Here is the practical demonstration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g70AqMIcDo0
Your latest versions are really great! I feel that I am only using a small part of what is available in the program. I wondered if you could set up a downloadable video which would explain the uses of the various types of diagram available.

RE: Dr
Thank you! It's a good idea. I'll start to work on videos as soon as possible. Currently I focus mainly on completion of new major version 5, which I want to release this year.
Until then, I recommend to look at: http://www.softwareideas.net/SimUserGuide.pdf
