Site Recorder: Demonstration (Demo) Mode

Site Recorder 4 is protected with a software key or ‘dongle’ that is fitted to the computer or a network server. However, the program can now be used without a software key in a demonstration (Demo) mode which is limited in what it can do but has enough capability to be able to learn to use the program. This feature has been added so the program can easily be used for training and evaluation without the need for a software key to be provided. In Demo mode the number of some objects that can be added is restricted, the program only loads and saves special Site Recorder Demo (.rdd) files and a few tools are locked and cannot be used.

If the program is started without a dongle being attached to the computer then it will automatically start in Demo mode. To switch to full operating capability the program must be stopped, the software key connected to the computer and the program restarted.
