Trial Version is completely useless.

I’m a younger and fairly newer producer and have been using FL Studio Trial version for almost a year now, no issues whatsoever. I was able to use everything such as the piano roll for example and record audio. Just today I wanted to make something with my new midi device I have, but every time I try to record or use piano roll it says “The feature is only available in Fruity edition”. And it did that for everything I would usually be able to do. Now the app is basically useless. And I can’t spend $99 for some app that I’d have on my computer just to be able to do what makes me happy the most.
