AS per what's new in 4.40:
"What is new/Content Description
There are numerous feature additions and improvements to this new version
of Nikon Capture. This fully functional 30 day trial version will allow you
to try all features before purchase. Nikon Capture Editor supports the
D1-series, D2-series, D100, D70, and Coolpix models which support RAW mode
shooting. Be aware that Nikon Capture Camera Control does not support
Coolpix cameras.
The license validation method has changed between Nikon Capture 4.x and
4.2. License codes from earlier versions of Nikon Capture cannot be used
with Nikon Capture 4.2 or later. If you own a Nikon Capture 4.x license,
which is a 4-word code, please contact Nikon Technical Support for
information on how to obtain your new numeric code."
