The trial program allows you to save your work at the end of 2 hours, then it shuts down.
You can then restart it and work for further 2h sessions, unlimited.   

 Purchase a Runtime Edition for each of your projects.
The Runtime edition includes a full GeniDAQ User's Guide, a CD, & a parallel port dongle.

PCLS-GNI-W32/RT 32 Bit GeniDaq Runtime Edition,
       includes a hardware key which plugs into a parallel port parallel port. See prices below

PCLS-GNI-W32
      32 bit GeniDAQ Development Edition (does not stop after 2 hours use)

PCLS-GNI-W32/UP  32-Bit GeniDAQ Upgrade Edition

About the GeniDAQ Hardware Key (Dongle)
There are four kinds of software keys:
Development key for the Development edition, (without the dongle GeniDAQ runs for 2 hours, then must be restarted)
Runtime key for the Runtime edition,
Upgrade key for the Upgrade edition (you need to enter the serial no of the old version when you run it for the first time), and
CE Development key for the CE Development edition.

OPC Server

OPC is OLE for Process Control.
Specifies standard programming interfaces for moving data among real-time process control devices and application software packages.
OPC is an extension of Microsoft's OLE & COM technologies tailored to the process control industry's needs.
A variety of programming languages - from Visual Basic to C++ can readily access information in OPC compliant devices, through the specification's OLE Automation and COM interfaces.

Included with Advantech cards and modules:

 I/O Drivers and Utilities data

            includes:    ActiveX Control   DASYLab Driver    LabVIEW Driver    MATLAB Driver


Driver Software: DLL drivers:

Provides complete DA&C I/O function libraries to utilize hardware functions
Supports all Windows 3.1, Windows 95/98/NT and Windows 2000 platforms
Programmed with Microsoft Visual C++, Visual Basic, Inprise Delphi and C++ Builder
Features lots of programming examples
Benefits:
Powerful and extensive functions to build DA&C applications
Needs intermediate programming skills
Free and bundled with DA&C device

DLL Drivers:    32-bit DLL Driver for Microsoft Windows 95/NT

These DLL drivers are included with every Advantech plug-in card,
and with the ADAM-4000 and ADAM-5000 series modules, and MIC-2000.

Your data acquisition applications can now take full advantage of the benefits of Windows 95/NT.
The latest DLL drivers include 32-bit Windows 95/NT drivers and extensive on-line documentation.
You can use the 32-bit DLL drivers for Windows 95/NT with 32-bit development environments such as
Visual C++, Visual Basic, Borland C++ and Borland Delphi.
The segment and offset programming complexities present in 16-bit systems are eliminated by the new 32-bit DLLs and languages, and each application uses a separate address space and preemptive multitasking.
Finally, your applications will execute faster because overheads are lower when calling a 32-bit DLL from a 32-bit application compared to calling a 16-bit DLL.

LabVIEW Drivers:  LabVIEW® is the leading graphical programming environment for data acquisition and instrument control applications. The drivers have both a high speed and a normal speed data acquisition capability
