The system is secured by a network key, single user key, or password. The key must be installed on a parallel port (LPT1 or LPT2) for parallel port keys or USB port for USB keys to run in "full function mode". If the key is not present, the program will revert to "demonstration mode". In demonstration mode, certain limitations are placed on the system (hard copy output is disabled, the number of stations is limited to 12 and the option to save design work is disabled).
You will be warned that you are running in demonstration mode when you startup any module. If you have already started up a module, you can determine if you are running in demonstration mode by choosing the Help menu, then About. The About dialog will indicate if you are running in demonstration mode.
WARNING: You can't save design work if you are running in demonstration mode (your work will be lost).
