Evaluation license

An evaluation license is a temporary permission given by a software provider that allows users to test and use the software for a limited period, often free of charge. Its purpose is to help users assess whether the software meets their needs before committing to a full, paid license. Evaluation licenses typically come with restrictions, such as limited features or usage time, and are not intended for long-term or commercial use. Once the trial period ends, users must purchase a proper license to continue using the software legally.
