====== Trial and Demo Licenses ======

This page describes the license restrictions applicable to products activated by a Trial or Demo Activation Key. \\
Documentation about the Online License Activation system, see 
[[211:technology:core:online_license_activation|]].

===== License Restrictions =====

=== In general ===

Trial and Demo licenses have equal capabilities as full licenses, except for limitation in time, version 19.X and the below-listed limitations on writing (export) and sharing of created resources.


=== Limited export to Native Orbit Storage Formats only ===

Trial or Demo licensed products cannot create or export to supported 3rd party storage formats.  \\ 
In other words, Trial or Demo licensed Orbit Products can create and export only to Orbit's native file-based storage formats((*.ovf, *.ovt, *.omi, *.opc)).

=== Limited sharing of Demo or Trial restricted Resources ===

Orbit resources((Both mapping resources Mobile Mapping Run, Oblique Mapping Project, UAS Mapping Run as file-based resources *.ovf, *.ovt, *.omi, *.opc)) created by a Trial or Demo licensed product cannot be opened by a Full licensed version, nor used by 3D Mapping Cloud. \\
In other words, Full licensed Orbit Products can only open Resources created by Full licensed Orbit.

Resources created by a Full licensed product can be used by Trial or Demo licensed products. \\
There is no restriction to read supported 3rd party storage formats.
