When the trial period has ended, you will see a similar window, but you can no longer “Continue” using the “Trial version”, and you need to activate a commercial license in order to keep working.

During the testing period, you will find the following limitations:

  • A maximum number of Entities will be imported (from each incoming table) or exported (from the drawing, when testing the “Professional” Edition). The quantity will be 75% of the total number of Entities to be processed.
    • The number of Entities processed if you select the option “Import only Features in the current view” when importing is also conditioned by this limitation.
  • A “DEMO” watermark will be added (if you are testing the “Standard” or “Professional” editions):
    • When showing any ‘Background Map’.
    • When importing geo-referenced raster images. Thus, a new image will be saved on disk even if the imported image is not transformed. The user will be prompted for the location to save the newly generated image.
      • If you ‘Import-all’ the images in a folder, the “Working path” will be used to save the new images.
  • A maximum number of terrain contours will be created (when testing the “Professional” Edition). The quantity will be 75% of the total calculated contours.
    • In addition, if contour elevations are labeled, a portion of the labels (25%) will be shown as “DEMO”.
  • When transforming the drawing Coordinate System, a maximum number of Entities will be transformed (when testing the “Professional” Edition). The quantity will be 75% of the total number of Entities to be transformed.

    • Search for Locations (SPMSEARCHLOCATION) (if you are testing the “Professional” edition).
    • Direct and Reverse Geo-coding (SPMGEOCODING_DIRECT and SPMGEOCODING_REVERSE) (if you are testing the “Professional” edition). In addition, these two functions will only return a maximum of 5 results each time they are executed.
    • Image tools (SPMIMPORTPHOTO, SPMEXPORTIMAGE, SPMWORLDFILE) (if you are testing the “Professional” edition).
    • Fields Calculator (SPMDATACALCULATOR) (if you are testing the “Professional” edition).
