# Licensing

## Setup - Main Settings

It is necessary to enter and validate a license code in order to use the application. If you do not have a license code, the application will work normally in **Demo mode for 30 days**. After this period, you will need to enter the license code to be able to use the application.

To activate and register the license leave the **License Type button in green (Licensed)**. Then enter a valid license number and press the **ACTIVATE** button. The terminal will connect to the license server, verify the code and register it with the terminal on which it is installed. 

An **internet connection** is required to activate the license. 

Licenses cannot be activated in the following cases:

* No connection to the license server or no internet.
* The license number entered is incorrect.
* The license number has been previously installed on another terminal.
* The license number has been activated more than 4 times on this terminal.

If you experience any problems during the license registration process, please contact your distributor.
