The TRIC BASIC version is ideal for users with a small number of projects, as it does not require automation features. With the Smart Purchase option, all modules can be tested for 12 months while only paying the BASIC fees. After the trial period, additional modules are deactivated without an automatic contract renewal. Projects remain intact; only the license key is adjusted. Features and libraries are extensive and flexibly adaptable.

To give you a clear picture of the range of features that TRIC® offers, we provide the Smart Purchase option. Through Smart Purchase, you can use TRIC® with all available modules for 12 months. During this period, you only pay the fees for the TRIC BASIC version, even while enjoying the full functionality.

After these 12 months, the following TRIC modules:

• Global edit/list
• State Graph according to VDI 3814-6
• GAEB Export

will be automatically deactivated and will no longer be usable. This ensures that you have ample time to test all the features and tools of TRIC® without the risk of being automatically upgraded to a more expensive contract after the trial period.

Have you come to know and love features through Smart Purchase that you don’t want to give up? No problem! TRIC® allows you to select only the modules you need for your work. Instead of paying for each module separately, you only need to pay the difference between the TRIC BASIC and TRIC Pro versions.

TRIC® is delivered in the Smart Purchase version with all available modules. The toolset includes functions such as:

• Global edit/list
• State Graph according to VDI 3814-6
• GAEB Export
• BACnet-compliant representation of the function list
• Room automation according to VDI 3813

After the 12-month Smart Purchase period, the choice is yours: either acquire the PRO version or opt for an individual selection of modules. If you do not wish to do so, you don’t have to take any action. You will automatically receive the license key for your BASIC version, allowing you to continue using it without additional modules.

All projects created during the trial period remain intact. Only the license key changes, so you don’t have to worry about losing anything from your 12 months of Smart Purchase.
