Assessment Mode

The Visual Basic Upgrade Companion will switch to assessment mode once the current license is expired. This mode allows the user to perform the following actions:

• Create upgrade solutions to solve pre-migration issues i.e. missing references or files.
• Create the assessment report to quantify the efforts required for the migration task.

The VBUC will be installed by default in assessment mode if a valid license file is not provided after the installation process. Once the VBUC is activated, the assessment mode features will be present in the full version.
