Trial mode enables all of the functions but inserts a watermark on signatures as an indication.
A Premium license can be applied, either from a text file using Browse, or by using copy and paste into the dialog. Once applied the additional functions will be available without a watermark.
Depending on the purchase option your license can contain a `seats' value. When set the license will be limited to that number of installations. For example `seats=2' means the license can be installed on 2 different PCs. In order to move the license to a third PC it must first be freed on one PC by selecting `Deactivate License' in the Manage License dialog:
An internet connection is required to install and deactivate this type of license.
A Premium license will be supplied as a JSON Web Token (JWT) text string. To inspect the supplied license paste it into the JWT viewer https://jwt.io/
