Reduced Functionality

[jadeB]

I have downloaded the trial version of Groove. After the trial period
groove has reduced functionality. If I purchased a Groove license and
added workspaces and documents. Would other users with expired trial
versions still be able to access these documents?

How is the functionality reduced?

Thanks!

I haven't tried this, but logically I expect that no, they would not have
access to new data.

In reduced functionality mode, you can cannot create or change files. Since
Groove uses a distributed data model rather than a centralized one, when you
add a document to a workspace, other members of the workspace access that
document by recieving the document data and creating a local copy of it. They
shouldn't be able to do that in reduced functionality mode. If the mode was
properly implemented, they shouldn't see changes to existing documents,
either. They will continue to see documents that they have already received
and stored.
