Nova - Free Trial

The free trial of Nova is a zero-risk way to determine if Nova meets the needs and requirements of your project!

BENEFITS:

• Complete Feature Set: Nova - Free Trial contains all of the features, functionality, and APIs of the paid version.
• Compatibility: Content built with the free trial is 100% compatible with the paid version, and vice versa. That means all of the Nova samples work with the free trial, and upgrading is seamless -- just replace the trial package with the paid version.

RESTRICTIONS:

• Not Burst optimized: The performance of this free trial version is not representative of the performance of the paid version, as the paid version is 3-10x faster due to optimizations made via the Burst compiler.
• No source code access: The public API is thoroughly documented on our website. The internal API in the free trial is obfuscated and precompiled

HOW TO UPGRADE:

Simply delete the Nova folder and import the paid asset -- it's that simple!

See novaui.io to learn more.
