1. Introduction
===============

This software kit is a 3-day demo version of Axigen.

The Demo Version
Contains most of the features, works for unlimited users and domains and is
limited in time to 3 days. If you would like to evaluate Axigen for a longer
time, or to perform speed and performance benchmarks, please generate a trial
license key (see below).

The Trial Version
You can activate the trial mode by applying a 60-day trial license key, which
you can get here: https://www.axigen.com/go/trial-key

Technical support is available during your 60-day trial.

In trial mode, a text will be appended to every message that passes through
Axigen. If you would like the appended text to be removed, please contact us
here: https://www.axigen.com/go/contact

After trial, there is a very simple process to switch to one of the
available Axigen solutions, while preserving the entire configuration.
All you have to do is to install the license key received and the license
enabled features will be available without losing any of the existing
configuration.
