Ready to buy a license?
Here is some background information on the process
License information
You can evaluate Lights-Out for a period of 30 days. When the evaluation has expired, Lights-Out will revert to a Community Edition mode. In this mode, Lights-Out is free for personal use only.
To use the full functionality after 30 days, a license is required. A license may be purchased at any time during or after the 30 day evaluation period. The purchase of a license entitles you to activate Lights-Out on the number of licensed servers.
Maintenance and Support
The purchase of a license includes 1 year support and maintenance which will cover all updates to Lights-Out published during that period. Support and maintenance can be extended annually. New maintenance is always added to the end of the last maintenance and support period. Example: Maintenance expired November 11, 2016. You extend your maintenance on February 15, 2017 and get a new end of November 11, 2017.
If you do not extend support and maintenance after expiration, the license is still valid but you are no longer entitled to use newer versions.
A detailed description can be found in the blog on Day 29: Licensing, Editions and Features
and Day 30: Maintenance and Support.
