Features of the Free Version

You can use Dr.Explain with a free limited license indefinitely.

This license allows you to create and edit projects of limited size, where all images in the final export are marked with a "watermark."

Once you purchase a commercial license, you will be able to generate documentation without "watermarks" from the same project. There is no need to redo the project started in the free mode.
