The software can be used both as a free “Lite” version and as an extended “Pro” version.
The Lite version provides basic functions for electronic signing and is suitable for simple applications. The Pro version, on the other hand, offers numerous functions and options for automating processes, such as document types with automatic signature fields and archiving and e-mail options, as well as numerous other functions for the legally compliant capture of advanced electronic signatures, such as biometric signature features and an internal certificate management system.
Selecting the version
When starting the software for the first time, you can choose between the free Lite version and Pro version. It is also possible to switch between the Lite and the Pro versions at any time via the settings.
Once a license has been saved, the Pro version is used automatically and it is then only possible to switch to the Lite version if the license is released.
Documentation
This software manual is available in two versions, which can be changed by selecting “Lite version” and “Pro version” in the header.
