Question about restarting renders in full version

I have been playing around with the demo, and will probably buy the full version soon.
I like the fact that you can pause and resume rendering.
Is it possible (with the full version) to stop rendering, save your scene, quit the program, and at a later date start the program again, reload your scene, and resume rendering where it left off?
I am assuming it isn't, but I had to satisfy my curiosity.

As far as i know it isn't possible to save your scene in the demo. Under File -> Save as the "Save" buttons are grey.

like the saved film in luxrender; no, currently not possible. if you save the image, and later start rendering from scratch to the about same amount of samples/px, combining those two images in photoshop (or the like) will make the result more noise free, but that's only a quick&dirty workaround and of course not the same like resuming...

Yeah, I didn't think it would be possible, but I had to ask.
Thanks for the replies.
Curiosity satisfied.
