One of Xeoma advantages is that you can thoroughly test it before the purchase. Trial mode is what will let you try 99.9% of Xeoma modules and features.
When you first launch Xeoma downloaded from the Xeoma official website it starts in the Trial mode (also called Trial edition and Trial version). The Trial mode has 99% of Xeoma features and all Xeoma modules including those only available in the Xeoma Pro edition (for example, Abandoned Object Detector, Privacy Masking, etc.) or Additional modules (for example, recognition of emotions, gender, text, faces, sounds, object types, age and so on).
In a way, this Trial version can be named a trial version of the Xeoma Pro edition but with some extension (for example, it also enables testing of Additional modules) and some restrictions (see below).
This edition is free of charge but the Trial edition is not meant for perpetual use – its sole purpose is getting to know Xeoma through temporary testing of features and modules you’d need in the program when you buy a license. For perpetual use you can opt for any of the commercial editions – Xeoma Starter, Xeoma Lite or Xeoma Standard – or the Free edition. See limitations of the Trial version
