Is the trial version a Farm or Consultant License?

The trial is the latest released application version containing all available application features.

What are the trial limitations?

The trial version of SPDocKit has a couple of limitations:

  • Limited information in the generated documentation and exported reports. Export to .docx, .xlsx, or legacy .xlsx format is not available. You can see examples of how exported and look like in the full version.

  • Best Practices reports are limited to the dashboard overview.

  • Permissions management is limited to 20 actions.

  • The comparison feature is completely functional when comparing the same farm.

    • Comparison of different farms with snapshots made with the trial software is not possible.

If you would like to see more about the limited features, and we will be more than happy to organize a demo for you and your colleagues to show SPDocKit at its full strength.
