4.2 Activating the test license
If you wish to use options without any restrictions – and without purchasing a license – you
can activate these for a limited time using the test license. Six test license periods are available.
The first test license period has a longer operating time. The operating time depends on the
NCU being used. Generally, the additional test license periods are 150 operating hours of the
control system.
Note
A test license supports "short-term use" of the software in a non-productive context, e.g. use
for testing and evaluation purposes; it can be transitioned into another license.
