At the moment, I have Sandboxie (Unregistered) installed and querying about whether there any limitations to creating a new Sandbox in the Free or Paid versions?

All I can find is the max. length of naming the Sandbox, nothing mentioned about a max. number of sandboxes. http://www.sandboxie.com/index.php?SandboxMenu#create

Thanks in advance if anyone knows if such limitations exists or not.

For paid version I think it's unlimited but it's dependent on system memory I believe.
Free version I'm not really sure.
Features for paid version. So you probably could have as many sandboxes as you want but only able to run one at a time.
A. Two features:
• "Force" programs: Automatically run programs under Sandboxie even when they are not started directly through Sandboxie. Programs can be "forced" by name or by containing folder.
• Run programs in more than one sandbox at the same time. This causes error SBIE1303 in the free version.

If you use the Paid version, have you ever come to a situation where you had to use multiple sandboxes at any one time? Could you explain the benefits of this?

Lets say that your running you browser and you open a Java applet. Since you have Java sandboxed it kicks in. Then you open Microsoft word or adobe and it turns on. Anything that can be exploited or internet facing gets sandboxed. So you can at times have 3-4 or more open sandboxes. I also have a sandbox download folder that has everything awaiting scanning. Just a small use for sandboxie that works.

That is how much I trust it.
