Additionally it asks for personal information when launched as the App seems to be a portal so some kind of a social network.
At this point I closed it and deleted from my computer.

"How the Free Download Works
You get 30 days to try all the features of TheBrain Pro. After that if you want to keep using the advanced features you will need to upgrade to TheBrain Pro. If you don't upgrade, you can keep using TheBrain Free Edition. You will not lose any of your work and will still be able to access everything you created."

Yes, I have sent an e-mail explaining the situation, including my personal information and previous key numbers. No answer received after 3 weeks.
Yes, I am disappointed!

I do not now and nor do I ever want to seem like one of those who come to this site and post complaints for the sake of it.
I do politely request, however, that developers are more open about their "free" products. For example, what are the differences between these versions? What do you get for your $150 or $250 beyond what the free version offers? (Or, to put it another way, what's missing from the free version?)
I don't like feeling like I'm being gulled into paying for something. To me this is a fairly low form of marketing technique, and very often seen in the Windows community. I'd hate to see it gain more traction in the Mac world than it already has.
No disrespect, but could the developer of this software please take these comments on board.

I consider this ungracious and I'm doubtful of the software ergonomics.

I also like the fact that I can run PersonalBrain on my PC at work and on my MacBook at home, sharing some of the same databases via Dropbox.
I do wish PersonalBrain had a more robust note editor. Right now it is really only useful for jotting simple notes, not composing long text. But you can associate RTF documents with your PersonalBrain items, and quickly open those in your favorite word processor. Copies can be stored internally or externally, and are fully searchable.
In short, PersonalBrain is a well thought out information manager with a unique and very powerful user interface.

The new 5.5 version does have some way cool enhancements:
