What is a trial key?
Trial key works like a Pro key, but it is valid for 30 days and some features contain 'Trial' watermark.
Where is license key stored?
License key may be stored in two locations:
- On your workstation, tied to your installation - this location is used when working with file repositories.
- In a repository - if you connect to a server repositories you are using license key saved in a repository. The key saved in your workstation is ignored.
It is possible (and acceptable) to use different keys in every repository.
