• Factory Tools lets you demo commercial plug-in libraries such as idustrial revolution Volumetrix past the 15 day trial period (plug-ins running in demo mode render with a watermark).
• Factory Tools Pro is now required to install free plug-ins beyond the 115 Built-in Effects (commercial plug-ins such as idustrial revolution Volumetrix are not affected by this limitation).
