Before a binary configuration may be downloaded and activated the target has to be properly licensed. For a permanent target operation a full target license must be obtained from the REX Controls company. A DEMO license is available for experiments and development. A DEMO license may be obtained directly from the RexDraw application while connecting to unlicensed target. A user may also get the DEMO license from the web page of the REX Controls company.

An information dialog about licensing is shown while connecting to an unlicensed target (figure 3.2). A user has the following three options:
