TRACE32 checks your maintenance contract on every start.

If the end-date of your maintenance contract is older than the revision of your just installed TRACE32 software, TRACE32 switches to a limited demo mode.

The demo mode gives every user the opportunity to receive and test Software Updates. If a user decides to use the Software Update, he must purchase or renew the software maintenance contract.

Note:

• When purchasing a debug cable or a software maintenance contract, you get free software updates for one year.
• Lauterbach strongly recommends making a backup copy of the TRACE32 installation directory before applying a software update.
