Evaluation version upgrade
During installation, you can choose to install either the full version of Fabric Manager or an
evaluation version. The evaluation version can be used for up to 60 days. You do not need to
provide a serial number or license key to use the evaluation version; however, you must accept the
license agreement displayed during the installation.
Each time you launch the evaluation version of Fabric Manager, a warning message notifies you
when the evaluation version will expire and gives you the option to register Fabric Manager or to
continue with the evaluation version. To register Fabric Manager, click Enter Now in the warning
message and enter a valid serial number and license key.
No data is lost while upgrading from evaluation version to full license version.
You can also register Fabric Manager at any time from within Fabric Manager.
Registering Fabric Manager
1. Select Help > Register.
2. Type a valid serial number and license key in the Fabric Manager Registration dialog box.
3. Click Enter.
