The licensing level that you choose automatically enables you to exercise specific features and blocks other features that are not allowed. Presented below are descriptions of how the interface behaves when you attempt to use features not allowed by a license level.
If the licensing level does not allow an object to be inserted, it will not show in the Insert menus.
If you open a database with an object that does not fit the current license level, the database changes to "read-only" mode.
If a Details view option is not allowed for the current license level, it is not shown.
If a Details view option is not allowed for the current license level, and was preselected (either through reopening of a database or a previous combination of settings) the Details view item will become invalid and shaded yellow.
Note: When you attempt to add objects that are not compatible with your current license level, the database enters a read-only mode and you cannot save data. However, provided you are using any license, you can delete the incompatible objects, which removes the read-only mode and enables you to save data and edit the database.
