All Vitextra on-premises products for SharePoint Server include a free 14-day trial with full functionality. After the trial, you need to activate the product to keep using it. There are two ways to activate:

  • Online activation - when your SharePoint server has an internet connection.
  • Offline activation - for servers with no internet connection.
