License Tiers

Licensing & Activation

TempoWeave Studio uses a subscription-based licensing model. When you first install the application, it runs in Demo mode. After purchasing a subscription, you activate your license to unlock the features included with your tier.


License Tiers

Demo

The free 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. Demo mode is a great way to explore TempoWeave Studio before subscribing.

Lite

The entry-level subscription. Lite unlocks the ability to save, export, and print your work. All the core design tools are available — you can create and edit drafts, use Common Weaves, and access the full set of drawing and manipulation tools.

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).
