Evaluation Mode Rights and Limitations
You are permitted to run Report Commander for evaluation purposes for up to 30 days without purchasing a Report Commander license.
In evaluation mode Report Commander has the following limitations:
- When you run a project or report, Report Commander will display a window with an evaluation message, which you must acknowledge before processing continues.
- If you run Report Commander from a scheduler, script, or other tool that runs it in "hidden" mode, Report Commander will log an error message and terminate without doing any processing, because it cannot display an evaluation message when running in a hidden session.
- E-mail messages sent by Report Commander may have an evaluation notice in the subject or message body.
You can remove all of these limitations by activating the software with a temporary license as discussed below.
Temporary License
You can obtain a temporary, 30-day license for Report Commander to remove the limitations imposed when you run it in evaluation mode without a license.
Use any of the following methods to get a temporary license:
- During installation, select the Request Evaluation License option when presented with the evaluation message. This method requires that the computer running Report Commander have an Internet connection.
- After installation, run the License Manager tool from the Report Commander group on the Start menu, then choose Get Temporary License from the License menu. This method requires that the computer running Report Commander have an Internet connection.
- Go to www.arcanadev.com/licensing/templicense.aspx and follow the instructions to request a temporary license file that you can download and copy to the Report Commander computer if necessary. The computer running Report Commander does not need an Internet connection.
