Ah! I figured it out. 

I didn't realize that I needed to activate it with the code on the download page.. 

Sorry Tom, and thank you for your time and help!

Yes I installed the latest version this morning. 

So when I click "Demo" on say the Chip land pattern in Surface Mount, I use to be able to change just the dimensions of the Chip calculator and now they are greyed out and do not allow change.

Unless I am installing the wrong edition?

Are you using the free V26.05 Footprint Expert Calculator?

In the past I was able to click Demo for a particular pattern and adjust all of the dimensions to see the result but not change density or other options (due to no license, ie free use). 

I can no longer do this though. Was this intended? 

Is it possible for those of us using the free features of the software to get this feature back?
