Activating Trial Version

DBEdite works as a free version by default.

You can connect to databases and view data from tables, views, and stored procedures.

To test saving changes, you have to activate the trial version.

You can do this during the installation or later, using Help, Register Product.

Now you know how to connect to tables, views, and stored procedures and save your changes to databases.
