Yes, when I have done an upgrade I have been asked if I'd like to use UC Lite or try UltraCompare Pro - I always chose Lite. UC Lite has always done enough for me and been perfectly functional and never nagging. I have been using UltraEdit for over 23 years (since version 6 or so). but I can't stand how it looks/feels now. I am not entirely sure when UltraCompare Lite changed as I don't use compare files that often.

It could be that a configuration setting is stored in Windows registry with a value which requires UltraCompare Professional although that would be very unusual. There should be enabled in Compare Files/Folders dialog window in UltraEdit only the comparison options supported by UltraCompare Lite. How do start the text files comparison? UltraCompare Lite can be used only by using the Compare Files/Folders dialog window in UltraEdit.It is not possible to start ucl.exe directly and do a text comparison.
