Modules which have not been purchased are provided under the terms of the evaluation license (see below).
The use of any feature in Echoview is subject to module license requirements noted above.
Some features are available in demonstration mode under the terms of the evaluation license.
Features available in demonstration mode are strictly subject to the Evaluation license agreement. The lack of an enforced limitation in demonstration mode does not imply the right to use a feature. Please consult the table of license requirements above if in doubt.
