The limit is per visitor IP (configurable, default 3). **Can users install plugins in a demo?** No. Installing or deleting plugins and themes, editing files and updating WordPress are blocked. They can activate or deactivate existing plugins, switch themes and change settings. **What happens when a demo expires?** It is marked as expired, its deletion is scheduled, and its database tables and files are removed automatically. **Do I need a license?** The plugin works without a license, but automatic updates require an active one. **Does it affect my site's performance?** During creation there is brief CPU/IO load; with active demos the impact is minimal. If the license server is down there is no effect (5 s timeout). **Can users save their work?** Not persistently. Demos are temporary and are deleted on expiration. ## Start offering live demos today One plugin. Endless safe demos. From 50 EUR/year.
