In addition to the types of license, there are some attributes associated with a specific license. Depending
on actual business terms, a license might have a number of following properties:
Forced online license: If a license has this attribute, it cannot be committed to computer. If you try
to do that, it will fail (Offline Install Forbidden). This is needed in some business terms to enforce
certain licensing policies.
Limited (Expire able) license: A license may subject to expire after certain date (either demo
license or not). This kind of license implies "forced online license".
Demo/Evaluation: If a license has this attribute, the program will display an evaluation notice
stating that "using the software in production environment of any kind is strictly prohibited". This
is needed for customers who want to try the software before paying. The function of the program
is, however, almost same as the formal one. Demo version implies "forced online license" and
"limited license" (the reverse is not true). A demo license can be transparently converted to
formal one by paying fees to clear the demo flag on the server. The user only needs to restart the
NVR engine to obtain formal license automatically.
