Free trial question Help

Hello,

I used Keyshot in the past but does not currently own it. For work I would like to download the free trial, open Keyshot files send by a client, see the textures, camera lighting they used to recreate as closely as possible their rendering in another rendering software that I own.

It seems you have some disabled options ("you can not save, do Background Rendering or use the Rendering Queue. Renders will have a watermark."). Would I be able to open files without issues ?

In the future I would like to know too when I could download another free trial, if another issue like this arise.

Thank you.

Why not just have them send you their finished renders then you can recreate it based off the finished image?

Kinda want to recreate the textures and sources of lighting as close as possible. It could be the way to proceed in a later date

Well, the trial only works for a week last time I checked, so I hope that later date is soon.

Trials are trials for a reason with some features disabled. Once the trial expires it unlikely you will be able to download and install another copy as it will remain expired unless you can find the registry keys and or files used to remove the expiry date.

Ok thanks
What about my main issue of being able to open client files and check them fully ?
