There is a fair bit of confusion about the license keys that we get on a regular basis. It would be good if we could add a section in the install guide or some place to state that only subscribers have licenses.

As a non-subscriber you can still use many of the features without the license such as runtime, tracing, debugging, browsing basic JMX and edit camel routes are all in the base, free product. The license allows you to access more advanced features such as connecting to JVM's over JMX / Fabric, browsing queues, endpoints, routes, visualizing the routes, endpoints, statistics and dragging and dropping messages from endpoints or files.

Trial licenses to explore the full functionality of the tool can be set up for interested parties by filling out the http://fusesource.com/contact form.
