I know there's like hardened sandbox and like data protection, etc for supporters. But it doesn't exactly say what the difference is and what they do.
Also there was a popup that Sandboxie can randomly stop working for a certain time without supporter certificate, has that happened for anyone?

Hardened is as od 1.2.x and earlier just a sandbox with drop admin rights enabled.
As of 1.3.x it will include additional mitigation like syscall restrictions and device isolation (not allowing sandboxed programs to talk to drivers unless explicitly permitted)

Data Protection also called Privacy Enhanced Boxes are boxes set up such that programs can only read the HKLM, C:\Windows, C:\Program Files, C:\Program Files (x86) and nothing else, no HKCU and no other path on any volume.
This way boxed programs can not access any private or personal data.

You it showed you the pop Up you coudl click on continue only after the countdown of 3 seconds hit 0 that what the pop up means and after half a year or so it will remind you again about supporting the project by getting a certificate. and half a year later again, and so on and so forth....

may be i should re phrase the message a bit
