14.3 Licensing
Activating the Trial License Mode
Trial License Mode can only be activated once. This applies independent of any functions that
the user added during the course of the Trial License Mode and the individual Trial License
Periods .
Note
Reactivation is not possible!
It is not possible to activate the Trial License Mode once it has been deactivated! The Trial
License Mode is deactivated if one of the following conditions applies.
● The operating time of the 3rd (last) Trial License Period has expired.
● The user ignores the request to activate the next Trial License Period and the system is
running up again.
Activating individual Trial License Periods
The 1st Trial License Period is automatically activated when the Trial License Mode is
activated. The 2nd and 3rd Trial License Periods must be individually activated once the
previous Trial License Period expires.
Trial License Periods that have already been activated can no longer be deactivated or
stopped. The operating time of activated Trial License Periods is decremented if an additional
function requiring a license supported by Trial License Mode is added to the Trial License Mode.
Expiry of a Trial License Period
You receive a message in plenty of time before a Trial License Period expires. You can then
activate the next free Trial License Period or you can replace the Trial License Mode by a full
license.
Note
Deactivating the Trial License Mode
If you do not activate the next still free Trial License Period, then the Trial License Mode is
deactivated the next time the drive runs up. Once the Trial License Mode has been deactivated,
you can only continue to operate with a full license.
Deactivating Trial License Periods
It is not possible to deactivate individual Trial License Periods. The Trial License Mode goes on
hold if one of the following conditions applies.
● All functions that are activated and require a license were deactivated.
● A valid license key was entered.
While Trial License Mode goes on hold, the operating time of the last activated Trial License
Period is frozen and is continued at the next reactivation. The last activated Trial License Period
is automatically continued if the system identifies an underlicensed state. In this case, it is not
necessary to reactivate the Trial License Mode.
