Free vs Pro - Plugixa Image Map
The free plugin is complete on its own: you can build, publish and maintain maps with it indefinitely. Pro adds features on top. Nothing in the free plugin is locked, limited or time-boxed.

Moving between editions
Free to Pro. Install Pro and your maps are exactly as they were. Nothing is converted.
Pro to Free. Your maps keep working. Pro-only parts are not shown: a map with floors shows only the floor that was open in the editor when it was last saved, picture icons fall back to the built-in one, and hotspots limited by a condition show to everyone. The Pro details stay stored, but saving a map in the free plugin drops them from that map. The version from before is in the map’s history and can be restored once Pro is back.
