  No it wouldn't. Read on.

  What you *think*/*thought* you saw! Paul even explained where you made
your mistake. There is a place where you *can* enter an e-mail address to
register a *non-Free* version, but since the 'License key' is already
filled in for the *Free* version, you should/need *not* enter an e-mail
address.

  That you were confused and made a mistake, is of course perfectly OK/
understandable, but continuing to spread FUD/urban_legends in the face
of *evidence* to the contrary, is not OK.

  So Juancho should do your work for you, instead of you (re-)trying
yourself or just reading and accepting the evidence/information provided
by several people!?

  Anyway, see Paul's screenshots for what is *actually* happening if you
install the *Free* version for *Personal* use:
