# License Types

This topic describes the different license types supported in ActiveReports. License types include evaluation, standard, and professional.

## Content



ActiveReports provides three licensing options to choose from. The [ActiveReports Editions](/activereportsnet/docs/v19.2/devops/activereports-editions) page elaborates on features exclusive to Standard and Professional Editions, so you should check which license best suits your needs.<br />

| License Type | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Evaluation |   **Trial key is required.** Evaluation banners display on all reports and controls, and the product stops functioning after 30 days from the date of installation. The first key is already activated when you download the trial. If needed, you can request a new key from the Sales department for an additional 30 day trial.   |
| Standard |   **Standard Edition product key is required.** Evaluation banners appear only on features that are exclusive to the Professional Edition. You receive this key by email when you purchase ActiveReports Standard Edition or upgrade from a previous version of ActiveReports Standard Edition.   |
| Professional |   **Professional Edition product key is required.** All reporting functionality and controls appear without any evaluation banners. You receive this key by email when you purchase ActiveReports Professional Edition or upgrade from a previous version of ActiveReports Professional Edition.   |

If you cannot find your email with the product key, please contact [activereports.sales@mescius.com](mailto:activereports.sales@mescius.com) to have it looked up.
