Inspect Optical 3D: Free version vs Pro Version

[[Ba...]]

Hello, I started using ZEISS INSPECT Optical 3D about 15 days ago with a trial license, which I assume is the Pro version. Before deciding whether to purchase Pro, I would like to understand what the Free version includes. However, I could not find how to activate and use the Free version— could you please help me with that? Thank you!

In Free version you are very limited. No editing parameters, no python, some of methods are out.

We thought we could make a scan and a template program on Pro and then evaluate whole program on Free - i think this is not possible, but you can do a whole new program in Free.
Only downside is, that some of needed operations in defining measured element is hidden in first creation, so you have to go into editing - and that's not allowed.
After your Trial expire, you will see a signs that marks paid options.

The main restrictions in the free version are:

- No editing of created elements. Your only option is to delete the element and redo it from scratch

- No proprietary CAD formats. Only IGES, STEP etc.

- No manual recalculation of the project. It recalculates as soon as you make a change, which can take some time if you have things like surface comparisons in the project.
