1.2.2 Licensing procedure

When you start Automation Builder software for the first time, you will be asked to choose a
license option.
However, a basic license is enough for the example project for central I/O expansion, we recom-
mend to activate a trial license which is required for the example project for remote I/O expan-
sion. This way, you do not have to change licenses when programming the second example
project.
