How to test out ALL the features of the FULL Professional version of Azhagi?
You can very well test out ALL the features (incl. 'Direct Tamil Input in external applications' like Notepad, MS-Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Adobe Pagemaker etc.) of Azhagi FULL pack, even without obtaining professional version password. There are 2 ways to do it. The steps are herebelow.

Method 1:

• Download the commercial version of Azhagi (from http://azhagi.com/download.html). Install it afresh in any computer system. i.e. it should be the first time you are installing Azhagi in that machine.
  
  
• Start the Azhagi 'application' by clicking on its shortcut icon (light greenish blue in color with an 'A1' on it) in the Desktop or QuickLaunchBar or Startmenu.
  Note: By mistake, do not click on 'Azhagi-Free-Setup.exe' to start the installation process again. Also, do not click on one other icon of Azhagi ('yellowish red' in color with an 'A1' on it). It will only invoke the registration screen again.
  
  
• Do not enter any password in the opening password screen of Azhagi. Just click 'OK' and enter into Azhagi application.
  
  
• When you start Azhagi in the above-said manner without entering any password, Azhagi acts as the FULL Professional version in 'Trial' mode. It will work in this full-fledged mode for only 10 days. Also, some character and time restrictions will apply. For a list of these restrictions, see http://azhagi.com/trial.html
  
  
• Since all the features are available for testing, you can very well test out 'Direct Tamil Input in external applications' also. To know how you can readily and easily type in Tamil in external applications, please see instructions at http://azhagi.com/know.html#nonuni. Additionally, after starting Azhagi fully, you may also click on 'Direct Tamil Input in ALL applications' label at the bottom status bar, to know how to effect direct Tamil input in external applications.
  
  
• Apart from 'Direct Tamil Input in external applications', you can also try out all other features of Azhagi like Auto-Transliteration, Auto-Insertion, Pop-up Display, Reverse Transliteration etc.
  

Method 2:
Suppose you have already obtained (from free.azhagi.com) the FREE 'Basic Version password and entered it in the opening password screen of Azhagi and registered it in your system. Since you have entered the basic version password in the opening password screen, Azhagi starts acting as a full-fledged Basic version. No restrictions apply, as far as the basic version is concerned. You can type as many pages as you want, save, print and email them, from within Azhagi. But, you cannot type directly in ANY external Windows application like Notepad, MS-Word etc. However, you can still try the features of the FULL Professional pack of Azhagi itself if it is not yet 10 days since the day you registered the basic version in your computer. Steps for the same below.

• Download the commercial version (from http://azhagi.com/download.html) and install the same into a directory different from your free basic version directory.
  
  
• By default, commercial version does get installed in a different directory - "c:\program files\azhagi" (as against the free version default installation directory which is "c:\program files\azhagi-free").
  
  
• After you install the commercial version, a second shortcut (its icon will look the same though, like that of the free version) will be created for the commercial version in desktop, quicklaunchbar etc.
  
  
• Once you click one of these shortcuts, commercial version will start and do not input any password in the opening screen
  
  
• Now, you can try out ALL the professional version features in the manner we have explained under Method 1.
