## IronWrap License Models

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

- Node Locked Model - must have the application activated and copy protection released before running.

- Trial model 1 - The application will run for a duration measured in absolute days - regardless of how long the application executes.

- Trial Model 2 - The application will run for a duration measured in hours and minutes of cumulative execution time - regardless of the absolute time that elapses between executions.

- Always Execute - The application run with no restrictions with all the protection capabilities of the ClientProtector. However, the license file must be found and successfully parsed. You may wish to use this "model" if you are using the Hybrid method and want to have most of the license enforcement logic inside your application.

- Bypass - Strictly speaking, this is not a model at all. It only uses the features found under the IronWrapping tab. It will not reference any license file. You may wish to use this "model" if you are using the Hybrid method and want to have absolutely all the license enforcement logic inside your application, or you simply wish to protect the data itself.
