Licences, trial and Educational mode

Free trial

Every feature, nothing capped. Each company can be written to for 120 days from its creation; a new company gets its own 120 days. The top-right corner shows Trial: N days left. Clicking it opens the Licence screen.

Educational mode

When a trial or licence ends, SAHARA Core moves to Educational mode:

• Everything opens, prints, exports, backs up and restores as always.
• Masters and settings can still be changed, and an XML import still works.
• A new voucher can be dated only on the 1st, the 2nd or the last day of a month (AD date). Vouchers dated on other days can’t be altered, cancelled or deleted.

The refusal says so plainly and reminds you: your books are safe.

Activate a licence

On the Licence screen:

• Alt+L: load the licence file SAHARA Labs sent you.
• Alt+E: export a request file if this computer has no internet; send it to SAHARA Labs and load the licence file you receive.

The screen shows the state, who it is licensed to, the edition, valid-until and updates-until dates. A licence check never blocks your books.

Activation with a serial number and activation key, and moving a licence to a new computer by signing in, come with the first public release.

See Pricing and licences for the editions and ways to pay.
