The licensing window displays when you first start Prinect Signa Station.
To add to or change your licenses and options at a later period, you can make your changes in the Preferences in the "Licensing" tab. The changes are enabled when the system restarts.
Note: In an upgrade, the license configuration of the predecessor version is applied automatically. There is no license request. In this case, the basic version is applied as it is and all available additional options that have at least a floating license are also enabled. In the case of licensing conflicts, these license options may have to be disabled again.
This option is set by default and lets you install a full version of Prinect Signa Station. You must have a valid license for this.
The entire software functionality is available to you in the demo mode. You can put the software through all its paces and only then decide if you want to acquire a license.
It is not possible to output a job. When you save demo jobs, they will be marked so that you cannot output any of the jobs you created.
Warning: You can open jobs from the full version of Prinect Signa Station and change them but you cannot output them again once they are saved in the demo mode. You should not open your production jobs with the demo version.
