I know for example today nakshatras is Hasta, but your software shows Magha.

Most likely a Jyotish Master demo copy you have tried does not include a time zone file (SYS\TIMEZONE.DAT) and therefore cannot display actual nakshatra values.
If you will look at technical information about the table, you might see something like '+255:00 time zone' that is definitely not a correct value.

You may find the actual nakshatra in our electronic panchanga or in commercial JM version.

Also you didn't provide a source of the data you compared with, a date and ayanamsa used so we could compare for the data correctness.

You may download the attached files JyotiM.exe and timezone.dat and try to run the program to see if there is a difference.
Replace your old JyotiM.exe with attached one and copy timezone.dat into JM SYS folder. After that you have to see a correct time zone for location selected and valid nakshatra data.

Let's compare JM nakshatra and other panchanga calculation against other program, for example, Shri Jyoti Star

As you might see, nakshatra, tithi, yoga and karana time is the same up to 1 minute.

Sun rise is set may be slightly different but this is not a JM bug but other programs bugs.
You may prove that by going to any trusted astronomical data source. Also note, that Disk center/Upper limb and Refraction settings may affect a calculation result.
