Introduction

Some versions of the badging program may contain optional features.  These features are divided into 2 categories called “Try Out” and “Non-try Out”.  The “Try Out” features will be available for 20 uses when the features is not enabled by the security key.  The 20 uses is an aggregate number, meaning that these features can be tried out a combined total of 20 times.  At five remaining try outs, a warning message will appear, down to none remaining.  At that time the optional features will become disabled.

The idea of this concept is to allow you to investigate those features to determine their value to you, before investing in them.  Some features require special hardware or would create non-compatible databases and therefore a “Try Out” period would not make sense for them.  These are the “Non-try Out” features.  Both types of features can be activated permanently; see Enabling Optional Features in the Configuration chapter for further information on this.

Depending upon the version of the program you are using, some optional features may already be available.
