A demonstration (demo) license key may also be used for a trial period. When the trial elapses,
login attempts will fail. A demo license key may be replaced with another demo license key or a
permanent license. If additional license keys are added during the trial and the demo key expires,
the add-on keys will have to be re-entered when a new license key is installed.
