What’s limited after the trial
Everything is available during your 14-day trial. After that, ModusPad keeps working with some limitations. A license unlocks everything again.

Your settings are saved
Your profiles, rules and settings are kept. Enter a license key and everything comes back at once — no restart needed.
Same limitations without a check
If ModusPad can’t check your license for 7 days, or the license is no longer active, it works the same way until the check succeeds or you activate your current key.
