You should go through the registry, find anything having to do with
IPSWITCH or WSFTP (or whatever) and delete those keys. Also, make sure
any remants of the original install are gone (do an uninstall and also
verify that the directory is obliterated). Then try installing the demo
version. It should work now, providing they didn't do something sneaky
like put a key file somewhere in your file structure, which may be
difficult to track down.

Of course, if you've already moved on this may be moot, but it's good to
know in case you ever need to do this in the future.

I don't think you'll be disappointed.
