Licensing
When the Connector is first installed it will start a 21 day free trial. You can see a countdown of the remaining days in the status bar at the bottom of the window.
At any time during the trial period, a new license can be purchased and added to the Connector. To add a new license, select the Add License menu option from the Start menu.
Selecting this menu option will open a dialog like the one shown below:
NOTE: If the trial expires you will automatically be taken to this dialog when the Connector is started.
A link on the dialog will take you to the e-commerce website which will allow you to purchase a license. Once you have completed the purchase you will be provided with a link which when followed will display the license text. The result will look something like this:
Copy the lines starting from the BEGIN LICENSE line and ending with the END LICENSE line, paste them into the text box on the Connector and click OK. You should now see a success message.
If you see a failure message you will be given the option to re-enter the key. If you still have issues getting your key to work, please contact support@timephased.com.
If the license has been added successfully, when you next use the Connector the status line at the bottom of the window will indicate the end date for support and updates.
While the Connector has a valid license installed it will notify you when updates are available, and if you encounter any issues you can contact Timephased Support.
Once your license has expired the status line will show the message "LICENSE EXPIRED: purchase a new license for support and updates". The Connector will continue to work, it just won't receive any further updates and you will not be able to contact Timephased Support.
IMPORTANT NOTE: once your license has expired, you are only entitled to use the last version of the Connector which was available while your license was active. This version will continue to work for you, but it will not notify you that newer versions are available. If you choose to manually download and install a more recent version of the Connector, the Connector will no longer work as it will recognize that it was created after your license expired. In this situation you will either need to re-install the older version of the Connector, or purchase a new license.
