Trial Mode Behavior for Software Clients

The vSpace Pro Client operates under trial mode by default. Each session (maximum of 5) is limited to 10 minutes. After this period, a warning message will appear, (shown below) and the session will automatically end. Users can reconnect, but the 10-minute limitation will persist until a valid license is applied.

To remove the trial limitation, you’ll need to purchase and allocate a vSpace Pro Software Client License from the NComputing Management Portal.

Purchasing and Activating a License

1. Log into your NComputing account at www.ncomputing.com.

2. Navigate to the Management Portal.

3. Click on Purchase Licenses and Services.

4. Select the vSpace Pro Software Client License (SKU: vSpacePro-SW-1A).
   
   

5. Once purchased, allocate the license to your vSpace server.
