How NEO Free and NEO Pro work together

Topic T1151 Applies to NEO Free 3.1 and NEO Pro 3.1


NEO Free and NEO Pro - One Program

NEO Free is a simplified way to use NEO, and it's absolutely free. NEO Pro has extra features for those needing more capability.

In Version 3.1 we've done a cool thing - we have included both NEO Free and NEO Pro as a single program installed on your computer that runs in either NEO Free mode or NEO Pro mode. NEO Free users can try NEO Pro (and vice versa) without having to download, install or having to create different catalogs. They simply switch between the two modes from within the product.

NEO Free and NEO Pro are installed as NEO Pro

NEO Free is really NEO Pro with the Pro features hidden from view. From the computer's perspective, NEO is physically installed as NEO Pro (e.g., in Program Files) and you determine whether it runs as NEO Pro or in NEO Free mode. The mode you start in depends on whether you downloaded and installed NEO Free (NEOFreeSetup.exe) or NEO Pro (NEOProSetup.exe).

NEO Free users can click Try Pro! on the toolbar (or click Switch to NEO Pro on the Help menu). That starts a 30-day evaluation of NEO Pro (see next section). During the evaluation period users can switch between NEO Free and NEO Pro as often as you like. Licensed NEO Pro users can even switch to NEO Free.
