The download package of the Desktop Editions includes a 30-day free trial. If you need to test the Server edition, please send us a message here and we will send you a trial key. The free trial starts at the first use of the software. When the trial expires you will need to enter a commercial key to keep using the product. If you need an extension of the evaluation, please send us a message here and we will send you a trial key. The free trial will cause your pages to have a watermark on them.
