When a licence ends, your data stays

When a trial ends or a subscription passes its grace period, most features pause, but projects, files and run records are kept in full and File Manager stays open for backups. Upload a new licence and everything is back at once; paused tasks continue where they stopped.

Licence ended: most features pause; files and projects stay open.

  • Licence valid: everything works.
  • Licence ended: most features pause; files and projects stay open.
  • New licence uploaded: back at once, tasks continue.

Free packages

Subscription: unlimited paid packages

Questions

How long can I use the Evaluation Edition?

There is no time limit: use it as long as you like within its limits.

Is my data lost when a trial or subscription ends?

No. Everything is kept, and File Manager and project files stay open; renew and it is all back at once.

Can an offline intranet machine use a full licence?

Yes. Full licences are activated with a licence file; no network connection is needed.

What if I change machines or reinstall?

A licence belongs to a specific machine; contact us to reissue it for a new one. Before reinstalling, keep the recovery code you downloaded during installation.

Can DGX Spark use the Evaluation Edition?

Unified-memory machines such as DGX Spark are not covered by the Evaluation Edition; apply for the 30-day trial or choose a full licence.

Can I still upgrade after buying a perpetual licence?

Every release in the maintenance period can be installed; after maintenance ends, your version keeps working for good, and renewing maintenance lets you upgrade again.
