I have downloaded and installed Robotstudio 5.14.02 on a VMWare player v3.1.3.  
I expected I would have a 30 day trial period with full functionallity, however this isn’t the case.  
When f.i. I create a new project and I want to jog a joint of the robot I get a tooltip that this functionallity is not possible in demo mode.  
Is full funcitonality nog possible or do I do somthing wrong.  
I tried it on two VMWare’s : a Windowss 7 and a Windows XP.

The trial period is disabled when running on a virtual machine. You need to activate RobotStudio for it to run.

The reason is to prevent misuse of the trial period on virtual machines.

Works in some of them though … I’ve seen people running under some virtual machine programs, but e.g. Virtual PC does not work as I heard …
