Evaluation Mode

Until the Structural Engineering Library is licensed, it operates in Evaluation mode. Evaluation mode indicates that no registration information has been entered.

A Product Control Code (PCC) is necessary in order to activate an installation of the Structural Engineering Library. The PCC is issued by ENERCALC, Inc. to a licensed user of the software. When entered into the appropriate dialog, the PCC will allow the software to be activated such that it runs in Licensed mode rather than in Evaluation mode.

This design allows the software to be installed and evaluated prior to purchasing a license. When a license is purchased, the new license holder just needs to enter their activation code to allow the software to operate as a fully registered and licensed version.

While in Evaluation mode the software operates EXACTLY like the licensed mode except for three differences.

•	The software pops up a window at random times during the session to remind the user they are using an evaluation version and that they would be so very happy if they purchased a license.

•	The printouts display a watermark message noting that they were created by an unlicensed version which is for evaluation only, and not for commercial use.

•	The Project Print functionality is not enabled in the Evaluation Mode.
