It's just fine in the current release.
For licensed users upgrades are free for up to six months from purchase date. After that, VP will continue to fully function but a fee will be required in order to register the newest. Retain your old install file and registration info.
If yours is a registered version that was purchased prior to six-months ago, go here and download the latest release that is dated within the free upgrade period. It should register, and the issue may be fixed.
UNlicensed versions can always be test driven, but may have limited features. Retain your purchased installer and registration info.
