Glossary Item Box

The default installation for Barcode Xpress includes Evaluation licensing. This allows you to test all component features and functions and develop applications, but not distribute them. Installing Barcode Xpress in evaluation mode provides access to all features and functionality of the Barcode Xpress. E-mail support is available with the evaluation license.

During evaluation of Accusoft products, Evaluation Toolkit licenses can be used to try out products. However, the product behavior is limited by trial dialog pop-ups, timeouts, or evaluation watermarks. When you determine the product is a good fit, you can purchase a Toolkit license to eliminate trial dialog pop-ups, timeouts, and evaluation watermarks.

Applications built with an evaluation license can only be run on a computer that has Barcode Xpress Licensing installed on it. See Runtime Licensing for information on licensing requirements to deploy applications built using Barcode Xpress.
