Does the key from version 2 work with this new version?

Hi luffy, If you use it for personal use I don't think you will need a key for this version 3, since it became full freeware. You will just need a key in case you intend professional use.

Well, Thanks paf! This is a piece of software and now that is free is even better...

I agree, Alboguy, it's always good news when a good shareware program became freeware.
Cheers, guys.
