Demo Mode

You can run Citect SCADA without the hardware key in demonstration (demo) mode. Demo mode lets you use every Citect SCADA feature normally, but with runtime and I/O restrictions.

In demo mode, you can run multiple processes (with the networking model selected as "stand alone"), or in single process mode.

The following demonstration modes are available:

15 minutes with a maximum of 50,000 real I/O.
10 hours with a maximum of one dynamic real I/O. This is useful for demonstrations using memory and disk I/Os. Citect SCADA starts in this mode if no hardware key is available. If the system detects that you are using more than one real I/O point at runtime, then it will swap to the 15 minutes demo mode.

Note: Writing to any tag through DDE, CTAPI, or ODBC will cause that tag to contribute to the dynamic point count even if it is a memory or disk I/O point. So if you write to more than one point through these interfaces, it will swap to the 15 minute demo mode.
