In this period you can evaluate the software on your computer system and making a purchasing decision from it. You may use the trial in the company, but not in order to realize commercial projects. In the trial version, PROGRAMINO SOFTWARE requires an Internet connection each time it is started in order to query the time server and monitor the trial runtime. If you enter a license key, this query is no longer necessary and PROGRAMINO does not require an Internet connection after registration.
