I chose the 'feature limited' version because I will never be able to justify the purchase of the full package but would like to be able to play with Algor indefinately. I have been using it for almost two years but I usually have to call Algor every year and get a new license file because mine expires every year on my anniversary date.
Biggest draw-back is the fact that the 'feature limited' only allows you to do linear, elastic analysis of a single part. I can not analyze assemblies. I think that my material choices also may be limited. From what I can tell, DesignCheck only does linear, elastic analysis...no thermal analysis or event simulation etc. More info can be found here:

I'm not sure of what the 'time limited' version allows you to do in contrast to 'feature limited' but you can call Ray Deldin at Algor. His number is 800-482-5467 ext 3053. He is very helpful.
Good Luck,
Karl
