[00:00] Here at Inductive Automation, It's important to us that anybody be able to download and install the software, and try it out as much as they would like. Without having to worry about making a commitment. Because of this we offer two hour trial period which offers the full functionality of our software and can be reset as many times as necessary. To see the status of your trial period. Simply open up the Gateway web page and look up at the top here. You'll notice that my trial has expired. Meaning the two hours have already gone by. But resetting is easy, let's go ahead and do that. We will need to sign into the Gateway web page. And then hit the reset trial link here. Notice now we have the full two hours back, with our trial. One thing I want to point out, is that even with a license installed. You can still have a trial banner up at top if one or more of your modules is not activated. I'm going to go ahead and enter in my license key now to demonstrate. You'll now notice that my license has been accepted. But it still says license incomplete and it still has a trial timer countdown. To see which of my modules are not licensed. We can go to the view modules button on the right. I'm going to go ahead and scroll down. And you will notice SQL bridge module is in trial. This could be because of one or two reasons. Either I don't have SQL bridge on my license or I have SQL bridge on my license but it is from an older version of SQL bridge than what I have installed. I currently have version 8 of SQL bridge installed. And if we go back up here. Click on this licensing link and open up my license you'll notice I only have SQL bridge version 7. So that's why it's not licensed. It is important to note that even though I have a trial timer at the top. My currently licensed and activated modules will still continue functioning when the trial timer hits zero. And only the modules that are still in trial mode, like my SQL bridge module, will stop working.
