AdminStudio Client Tools Evaluation Restrictions
When you run AdminStudio in trial/evaluation mode, all of its features are fully available, with the following restrictions:
| • | Can create only one Application Catalog—You are permitted to create only one Application Catalog, and it must be named AdminStudio Evaluation Catalog. |
| • | Ten package import limit—Only 10 total packages (of one or more deployment types) can be imported into the Application Catalog. |
| • | Package deletion not permitted—After you import a package into the Application Catalog, you are not permitted to delete it. |
| • | AdminStudio Platform API support is disabled—All platform support is disabled. |
Evaluating AdminStudio’s Microsoft App-V Support
While evaluating the AdminStudio Enterprise Edition client tools, you will be able to convert a Windows Installer package to an App-V application using the Automated Application Converter, Conversion Wizard, Repackager, and the InstallShield App-V Assistant. However, an App-V application built using an evaluation version of AdminStudio will display the following message every time it is launched:
Evaluation Version Message
After activating AdminStudio, you will be able to remove this message by rebuilding the App-V application.
Evaluating the Automated Application Converter “Multiple Application” Option
The Multiple Application option of Automated Application Converter is only available when you purchase AdminStudio Enterprise Edition.
Note:With AdminStudio Standard or Professional Editions, you will only be able to convert one package at a time, using one virtual machine.
When using an evaluation version of AdminStudio, you will be able to use Automated Application Converter to convert a directory full of Windows Installer packages into individual virtual packages, but the conversion will be limited to three packages per run, using only one virtual machine. Therefore, only the first three packages that Automated Application Converter encounters will be converted to virtual applications.
