Commissioning License	Commissioning License	A demo LKF is a temporary LKF used for commissioning software functions during the project. All features in the demo LKF have the same expiration time. A demo LKF whose Electronic Serial Number (ESN) is a fixed value and the validity period can be 30, 90, or 180 days. The total number of days that can be applied for for for an R version cannot exceed 270 days.
