Firetail Licensing
Obtaining a license for your Firetail removes the evaluation time limit of 10 minutes. Additionally, the limitations restricting GPS samples and Burst samples will be removed.
Obtaining a test license
You may request a test license from the Firetail homepage via License Request.
You may reach this page via Help > Register... from within Firetail. If you need more detailed
information, do not hesitate to mail us directly: support@firetail.de.
Choose Get Trial License... to contact us for a current license. If you already know the scope of your study/analysis
in terms of hardware and data to-be-analyzed, feel free to include any details. We are highly interested to adapt
Firetail to a wide range of challenging problems and help you get the best out of existing features.
Purchasing a license
Full licenses are available from http://www.firetail.de. Please contact us when you have any questions (support@firetail).
Enter your license
Once you receive a license from our support/store, you may unlock your Firetail verison using the
Help > Register... dialog. Paste or load your license from your local hard drive as plain text.
Unwanted newlines (copy-paste errors) may corrupt your license, try using Load from file...
if your license is not accepted.

Bundled licenses
Some Firetail versions ship with a bundled license that would usually expire after 6 month. If you are a hardware manufacturer and you are interested in shipping Firetail bundled with your hardware, feel free to contact us (support@firetail).
License validity
Your license is valid for all versions published (built date) before the Free updates until date.
If you update to a later version than the Free updates until date, your license does no longer
match the version and is invalid in this context.
Similarly, an expired license (Valid until value) is invalid.
| License Field | affects | license validity after date stated |
|---|---|---|
| Valid until | license | no |
| Free updates until | updates | yes, for all previous versions |
Note: You may downgrade your version and continue to use your license, except valid until has expired.
License expiration
Certain licenses will expire completely after a given amount of time. You may look up
whether your license expires in the Help > About dialog.
