Evaluating AdminStudio Enterprise Edition Client Tools

In evaluation mode, you have the functionality of the AdminStudio Enterprise Edition client tools available to you.

If you have not purchased a license for AdminStudio, you can still install AdminStudio and use it for a limited number of days without performing activation code verification. When you run AdminStudio in this trial mode, all of its features are fully available. The dialog box that AdminStudio displays whenever you launch AdminStudio in trial mode shows you how many days are left in your trial period.

If you do not verify AdminStudio within the trial period, AdminStudio will stop working when the trial period has ended. You can perform activation code verification at any time before or after the trial period has ended.
