2. I did not receive a license code or confirmation email after purchase.
Generally, once the order is validated, the system will automatically send you an order confirmation email with the download URL within 2 hours. However, if you did not receive it on time, perhaps it is tagged as a SPAM, or it's because of the delay of Internet or system glitches. You can retrieve the license code through this page.
I purchased the license, but my account still shows a free trial.
Here are some possible reasons.
  1. If you have just purchased the software, it's possible that you haven't activated and associated the license yet. However, you need to activate the program with the license key on the order confirmation email, so please first check if you have activated and associated the license.
  2. If you have logged in but still show a free trial, it's possible that you logged in before making the purchase, so your account had been recognized as a free trial and hasn't been updated yet. In this case, please log out of your account and then log back in again.
