time (usually 90 days).
When you use the evaluation version of Data Director, a message appears when you log in that shows how

issues one permanent license key per SKU. As a Data Director system administrator, you add the permanent
license key(s) in the Manage & Monitor tab's Licensing pane. See “Add License Keys,” on page 105.
