We are in a situation where we need to add a pair of DMA with a demo license to a production DMS. Is this possible and are there any technical constrain to it?

Hi Dean,
As long as no changes to the server occurs when the DMA is running on the demo license, only the expiration date of the demo license would something to keep in mind (to make sure that the DMA doesn't go down when the license is expired). Besides that, there is no functional difference between a demo license and a permanent/production license.

Thanks a lot Jordy for your prompt response. Did you ever have a situation like this?

It can happen indeed (for example due to a server migration), but this is not an ideal situation of course (due to the time-limited factor). It is recommended to move to permanent licenses as soon as possible.
