## IronWrap License Model Type

IronWrapping provides a number of predefined License Models. These models will determine how your IronWrapped application will behave.

There general license model types available are:

- Node Locked Model - The copy protection must be unlocked before the application is permitted to run at all.

- Trial model 1 - The application will run for a duration measured in days - regardless of how long the program is executed during that time period. This model is frequently called an "Expire Period".

- Trial Model 2 - The application will execute for a cumulative duration measured in hours and minutes - regardless of how long in between separate executions.

- Always Execute - The application run with no restrictions with all the protection capabilities of the ClientProtector. However note that a Main License File is still used and it must be loaded successfully before the host application is permitted to run.

- Bypass - Technically, this is not really a license model at all. Instead, the program is permitted to run regardless. This model is useful if you wish to have 100% and total control over your license enforcement logic (from inside your protected application) or simply wish to protect data.
