Screaming Bee offers a free trial on its software. In order to use a trial version the program must contact our servers to get an activation key. This happens automatically, and you must allow the application access to the Internet in order to start the trial software. 

After your trial has expired, you’ll have to purchase the product to continue using it. To purchase, use the “Buy Now " button when the application starts and it will show you how to purchase. After you buy, you’ll be e-mailed a code to unlock the program permanently and it will no longer need internet access to start. 

This happens when you have the Temp folder encrypted by using the Encrypted File System.

Please turn off encryption for the temporary folder (typically C:\Documents and Settings\your logon name\Local Settings\Temp).

1. Right-click the Temp folder (typically C:\Documents and Settings\your logon name\Local Settings\Temp), and then click Properties.
2. Click Advanced.
3. Unselect the Encrypt contents to secure data check box. Click OK.
4. Install Application.

To completely remove GiggleType, we recommed after following Step 1 that you again install and then uninstall GiggleType using the uninstall link on your start menu.

We found that the most compatible way to use the morphing effects with other programs was to create a virtual driver.  This allows any application to use it, and there are no tricky backdoor hooks that will break in future versions of Windows or compatibility problems with unknown programs. This driver has been rigorously tested through Microsoft’s own driver testing procedures.

If the program you are using to talk to others is not set to use the "Screaming Bee Audio" driver, the program you are using will not hear your streamed files.
