When the trial period has ended, you will see a similar window but you can no longer "Continue" using the "Trial version", and you need to activate a commercial license in order to keep working
During the testing period you will find the following limitation:
- A limited amount of Objects can be imported from each incoming table or exported from the drawing (when testing the "Professional" Edition only). This amount will be calculated as the greater value between the 20% of the total of Objects to be processed (if the application knows this value) or 500 Objects
