License Status

This item displays the current license status of the application and can be either set to "Full Version" (with active license) or "Demo Version" (without active license) in AR 3S and AR 3S Pro. In AR 3S Pro Cloud this item will read "Full Version (Cloud Subscription)".

Expiration Time

This item displays the date from which your license is no longer valid. If there is no active license only "<Unlimited>" is displayed.

In AR 3S Pro Cloud "<Unlimited>" is displayed despite the existence of an active license; this can be ignored.
