• Ab3d.DXEngine.Assimp

The trial of the Ab3d.DXEngine, Ab3d.PowerToys, Ab2d.ReaderSvg and Ab2d.Controls.ZoomPanel can be started on the first use (no need to get a trial license). This is possible because those libraries work only on Windows and there the trial data can be written to Registry. But Ab4d.SharpEngine is a cross-platform library so Registry cannot be used and therefore a trial license is required.
