For further information see the detailed description of the Stand-Alone licensing model.
In the License Information Dialog the remaining days until the license expires can be found.

License expired

When the license expires, powerEvents displays a Windows notification about the expired license when the application is started and no longer executes actions:

  • Vault Client tabs added by the Add-VaultTab cmdlet stop working and no longer display the content from the -Action parameter.

  • Vault Client and Inventor menu items added by the Add-VaultMenuItem cmdlet or the Add-InventorMenuItem cmdlet stop working and no longer execute the -Action parameter.

  • All registered Vault events are restricted in order to block the configured processes of the Vault user.
