When you launch LoadComplete on your computer for the first time (after the product installation, the installation wizard launches LoadComplete automatically), it displays the Welcome to LoadComplete dialog suggesting that you activate the product.
Before using LoadComplete, you need to activate it. Activation is required even if you have LoadComplete Trial.
In the dialog, you can choose the license type to use.
What Is the Difference Between Trial and Commercial Licenses
-
A Trial license supports all the features available in the commercial version.
-
A Trial license is time-limited. It will expire in 30 days after you activate it.
-
The Trial license supports only 25 concurrent virtual users.
Commercial (Pro) licenses support a greater number of virtual users. The actual number depends on the license you have. So, if you need more virtual users, order a Pro license of LoadComplete.
-
Trial licenses are Node-Locked. They work only on the computers where you activate it.
Commercial licenses can be Floating, that is, they can be used on different machines in your network.
For information on different LoadComplete licenses, see LoadComplete License Types.
