How to backup more than 3 VMs with free edition?

I am using the free edition to do a VMware backup but I cannot add more than 3 VMs. If I try to add more, I get the message "You cannot configure more than 3 VMs with full feature backup.". The product info claims unlimited VM backup with the free edition. I can't figure out how to set this up. Any ideas?

Vembu BDR Suite Free Edition supports Unlimited VMs backup.

Before you back up, you’ll get a pop up with two options:

Full-Featured version
Limited-Featured version

The Full-featured free edition is available only for the first 3 VMs. To avail this, you need to configure backup for 3 VMs in a single backup job. After choosing the full-featured edition, the pop will not appear again. Later, the backup jobs configured for rest of the VMs will be of limited features.

If you’ve chosen Limited-feature option, you can configure any number of VMs in a single job or you can even configure multiple jobs. Further, the pop up appears till you choose a full-featured edition.
