Options

Some features of the application are grouped and named as FastReporter 2
Fiber Characterization (FR2-FC) and FastReporter 2 Loopback (FR2-LB).
They are available only in the complete version of the product, but you can
use them during the 30-day trial period of the product.

If you wish to continue using the features after the trial period, you must
activate them using the activation wizard.

Note: To view the options, you have to activate them from the trial window or

from the Help menu. If the trial period is over, you can also activate the
options by clicking the required option.

Note: You can view which options are activated for your products in the About

window of the Help menu.

There are two types of licenses you can obtain for your application:

Fixed (all versions): You have one license for one computer.

Floating (PC version only): You have one license that you can use on
several computers, but on only one at a time. Such a license is
contained on a USB dongle key. The dongle key also features some
storage space for your data.

In the case of a floating license, FastReporter 2, it will verify if a valid dongle
key is connected, and if so, will continue to validate the presence of said
key every 10 minutes. If no dongle key is installed, you can only use what is
available on your unit (for example, no options are enabled, or you revert
to the trial mode).
