# EmbedStudio Editions

EmbedStudio opens and runs without a license, as the Viewer. A license file adds what you can create and acquire.

## Viewer

*No license needed.* **Free**

Open any workspace, look at every instrument in it and review recordings. Creates nothing and acquires nothing.

## Free

*Free license.* **Free**

A working bench: acquire from a target and show the data on a time plot or a table.

## Good to know

- Limits apply to creating things, never to opening them. A workspace built with more instruments than your edition allows still opens in full.
- A license is a file tied to one computer.
- When a Professional license period ends, the copy continues as Free. Your recordings stay readable.
- Which probes and targets have been tested is on the Hardware page, and applies to every edition.
