License Tiers

License Tiers

Demo

The free demo tier. You can open and view WIF files, explore the interface, and work with a draft — but you cannot save, export, or print your work. You also have full access to the Yarn Catalog and palette tools (Clear Palette, Import/Export Yarns). Demo mode is a great way to explore TempoWeave Studio before purchasing.

Lite

The entry-level purchase. Lite unlocks the ability to save, export, and print your work. You can create and edit drafts, use Common Weaves, mark cloth sections with the Section Marker, connect a TempoTreadle to the Weave Assistant, and access the full set of drawing and manipulation tools. (The Yarn Catalog and palette tools are available in every tier, including Demo). You will find it very easy to upgrade from Lite to Core+ and you will only have to pay the difference in license cost.

How to Tell Which Tier You're On

Features that aren't available in your current tier appear dimmed (greyed out) in the ribbon. You can see them and read their tooltips, but clicking them won't do anything until you upgrade.

Your current license status is shown in the License dialog (Help tab > License).


Purchasing TempoWeave Studio

You can purchase through our online store at www.tempoweave.com which is powered by FastSpring. When you complete your purchase, you'll receive:

  • A confirmation email with your order details

  • A License ID — this is what you'll use to activate TempoWeave Studio

Keep your confirmation email safe. If you ever need to reactivate on a new computer or after reinstalling, you'll need your License ID.
