The conversations I had with some of our customers make me post this subject today. It concerns the Nova Personal Learning Edition (PLE) and what you can do or not with it. I offer to cover this subject with questions and answers.
Q: Can I test the PLE version more than 30 days?
A: Yes you can! Nova has so many functionalities that you may need more than 30 days to test all of them.
Q: if I use the PLE version and a mxb file, will it automatic update my work when I will buy the commercial version?
A: Yes. There a no limitations on this topic for mxb files.
Q: Someone in my company works with the PLE. Can I generate for him the exe.
A: No, it’s absolutely not allowed. Even more, it’s illegal.
Q: Is it possible to generate an EXE with the PLE Version?
A: Yes it’s possible, but you will get a Watermark on the scene.
Q: I work as a freelance and need to convince one of my prospects. I used the PLE version and I asked another freelancer who has purchased a Nova license to generate an exe. I'll buy the license Nova as soon as I sign with my prospect. Is it illegal?
A: Nova licenses acquired individually are neither transferable nor commendable.
Q: I developed a specific plugin, will it work with PLE version?
A: Yes it will work since as there are no limitations on this topic.
Q: If I use the PLE, will automatic updates work?
A: Yes, it will work.
In conclusion, please note that the PLE license has no limitations in terms of functionalities or length of use compared to the Production license of Nova. The PLE thus displays a permanent watermark in the Nova Explorer and in the .exe files generated. Nova PLE runs without any activation key. Production or Education with this license is forbidden. For production, we also understand the necessary pre-sale steps to sell your products.
I hope this post helped you to better understand when to use PLE or not. For any further questions, please contact Mr. Sébastien Callens.
