It sounds frustrating to deal with unexpected trial versions! A similar situation happened to me once, and I found that checking the package references can help clear up any mix-up with the licenses. Also, if you're looking for better ways to manage your projects, I recently discovered an awesome resource called Monkey Mart. It might not solve the issue directly, but it could provide some helpful management tips for your development workflow. Good luck!

Hey Ray, I totally get your frustration with the trial version pop-up. It can be really annoying, especially when you're just trying to focus on your MVC app. One possible solution is to roll back to the previous version you were using. Also, if you're looking for some inspiration while you troubleshoot, consider checking out some dreadhead parkour videos—they might just lighten the mood! Hope you find a fix soon!

It's frustrating when updates bring unexpected trial messages like that! Sounds like the NuGet package update might have pulled in a trial component by mistake. While sorting this out, sometimes taking a break with a fun distraction helps—I've been enjoying Retro Bowl lately, a cool throwback game that really takes the edge off stressful debugging sessions.

I totally get your frustration—unexpected trial version messages can really disrupt your workflow. Sometimes, package updates switch to trial builds by default. Maybe try reverting to the previous version or checking your license status. Also, for a quick break from debugging, check out Football Bros—it’s a cool way to unwind!
