Business-wise, it'd be easier to let users decrypt their files even past the thiry-day trial period, and only check for a license when they decide to encrypt new files.

I looked at KeePass before giving up because the passwords I have were previously in a free-flow text file, and too much work to turn contents into neat columns ready to be imported into KeePass. In that case, AES Crypt/Decrypt + TXT file is a good alternative.

Hello,

I often need to simply copy data from a text file into the clipboard, with no need to edit the original file.

In that case, 1) right-clicking on the .aes file, 2) decrypting it, 3) opening the file with a relevant application, 4) copying the data into the clipboard, 5) pasting it elsewhere ...
