Virtual licenses are the preferred choice of users looking for maximum flexibility and self-managed licensing. Virtual licenses are licenses stored in the Rental Shop, under your account and you can "consume" them by creating license orders that will be fulfilled for free.

Start consuming and downloading your free, 1-90 days license files and enjoy the flexibility.

Apart from the payment, the selected rental configuration will be processed and the order fulfilled exactly in the same way as in the case of paid rentals.
