Editions and Licenses
There are two flavors of Tb-Scout v4.0
Tb-Scout v4.0 can be used as "basic edition" and as "licensed edition".
The basic edition is free and for a limited period.
The licensed mode requires a Product License Key and it includes all the functionality described in this Help System. The basic edition mode is the default mode when the application is downloaded from the SDL AppStore and it comes with limited or locked functionality. Still, it is a good and useful tool to explore Termbases.
Please note that Tb-Scout v4.0 as basic edition is not a trial version (an application with all the functionality available for a limited time). Basic edition simply means it is just the application with limited functionality and with a set expiration date after a few months.
We also included a column for MultiTerm Desktop (Copyright © 2000 - 2026 RWS Holdings plc or affiliates) to show a side-by-side comparison of how Tb-Scout v4.0 clearly outperforms the commercial application.
