The Software Renew Period is the time period during which the software can
be upgraded. The Software Activation Period is the time period during which
the software is operational and can be used.
Test groups are activated by the license key. There are two modes of each Test
group, a fully functional mode and an evaluation mode. They are both controlled
by the license key. If the fully functional mode of a test group is not activated, tests
of its type can still be created in evaluation mode. In this mode, every feature of
the test type is available however, the test will only run for 30 seconds, signals
cannot be recorded or saved and reports cannot be generated. The evaluation
mode feature allows you to configure and evaluate different test types before
purchasing them. Once a test is purchased from Crystal Instruments, it can be run
without limitations.
For details about how to activate individual tests in evaluation mode, contact
Crystal Instruments or your local Crystal Instruments sales rep.
