License Modes

Your Ideate Software for Revit license operates in one of the three possible modes: 

  1. Trial
  2. View-Only
  3. Authorized

Trial

Trial mode indicates a standalone license that has not yet been activated with a license code. After the Trial period expires, the license reverts to View-Only mode. Ideate Software Trial mode includes full access to all functions during the Trial period with the exceptions as noted below.

View-Only mode indicates that the Trial or Authorized mode has expired, or that an issue prevents your license from being validated. For standalone licenses, the View-Only mode occurs automatically after the Subscription or Trial period has lapsed or if the license has been deactivated. Refer to License Transferring for information on how to deactivate your license.

For Cloud network and FlexLM network licenses, the View-Only mode will occur if your Subscription expired, there are no licenses available to be checked out or there is an issue connecting to the local or cloud license server, 

Authorized

Authorized mode indicates your software license is valid and authorized for the current computer. For standalone licenses, this occurs if a valid license code was activated. For network licenses, this occurs if a valid license has been checked out from the cloud or local license server.

License Mode Display

If running in Trial or View-Only mode, the status will display in the title bar of the main application dialog.
The license mode is also displayed in the Current Status of the Software License Dialog
