Both versions trial and regular use the same code, but the trial version is published for one (Windows, release) platform only; Visual Studio 2017. Regular archives are provided for various platforms including debug configurations and other OS. The trial protection is attached to a particular desktop, so you can run it only after activation. Regular archives protection is attached to a development desktop and does not require activation on every desktop the SDK is run.
