Using a Trial License

A trial license allows you to use the same functions as a node lock license, but has a limited period of use.

The trial period starts being counted from when you start using the trial license. Desktop cannot be started after the trial period is over.

The [License Authentication] dialog box is displayed every time Desktop is launched, until authentication is performed using a node lock license.

NOTE
Desktop can be continued to be used by performing authentication using a node lock license, or by switching to a floating license after the trial period. The license can also be changed during the trial period. For information on changing a trial license to a floating license, see the following.
