Thanks for the comments.
the "words you've added" section felt a little redundant.
While this is subtle, it is alphabetized to give teachers a quick way to figure out whether they've missed something. The downloadable version doesn't need it because the combo box is alphabetized automatically.
As you iterate you might try to get the "a picture is worth a thousand words" screenshots higher in the flow.
I have A/B tested this one extensively. Having it is better than not but the other text is more important. However, I'll be taking the occasion to do some major copy rewrites, so I might be in a testing mood again soon.
As I understand you, the sole reason for purchasing a license is to remove the watermark and footnote.
You may not have noticed the 15 card print limit in the trial version. That is the overwhelming reason people purchase. The watermark and footnote are actually unique to the web version (implementing them in Java was hellacious so I stopped trying). 15 cards was chosen to segment the market such that parents with blogs would spread the software for free but teachers with classes couldn't get a lesson out of it without paying.
