Hello,
my idea ist that Flame Free Trial does include/offer every feature of the regular version of Flame, but cannot be used for paid work.
Does this correspond to the facts?
Thank’s for your feedback!
How could that ever be regulated. It would be abused in seconds would it not.
Other apps have solved that by restricting renders or including water marks for rendered material. So you can use it to learn the app, or see if an app can handle a specific job, but you cannot use it to produce client work.
Other apps like Nuke Indie go one step further to encrypt project files made with the indie version and which cannot be opened with the regular version. So the Indie version cannot be used as a cheaper assist seat.
For Flame this would be easy to do. Remove the time restriction on the free trial. Put a big water mark on every render. And mark the projects as free trial in a way that they cannot be opened in the paid version.
All very simple and very effective.
It would be nice not to have to pay full price just to stay sharp while you’re not booked. Wasn’t there some talk of offering a VPN license through Academy Pro?
