Open the original- What it measures
- The system requirements section lists NMS mode among the requirements. Nuance says the administrator provisions a Dragon user account and assigns the license, and the user signs in with that login.
- What it does not show
- This applies to managed editions only. The notes do not name which editions have NMS mode turned on, so check the edition with your administrator or seller.
