Evaluating InstallShield

If you have not purchased a license for InstallShield, you can install it and use it for a limited number of days without activating it or connecting it to a license server. When you use InstallShield before activating it or connecting it to a license server, it operates in evaluation mode, and some of its functionality is not available. For details, see Functionality Notes for the Evaluation Version of InstallShield. Note that the evaluation limitations are removed when you activate InstallShield or when you connect it to a license server and check out a license for it.
