Click the Enable Trial button to start a 28-day trial license with a 10,000 point limit for each PDDEG-S (this button is not shown when a license already exists). This allows you to fully configure the BACnet server while applying for a permanent license.

  • 100 (free)

  • 500

  • 1,000

  • 5,000

  • 10,000
