Temporary Key

A temporary key is for trial use. 75 days after the temporary license key is installed (or when there are

45 days left before the expiration), a warning message is displayed on the Remote Web Console main

window when you start the Remote Web Console option. 120 days after the temporary license key is

installed, the temporary license key expires. A message that warns the user of the expiration of the license

key is displayed, and the license key expiration is also reported to the host. After the temporary key

has expired, you cannot re-install the temporary key for 180 days.

When the license key for a program product expires, the license key for a program product which

requires the expired program product will be also disabled.
