Upgrade AKVIS programs to new versions
When you buy AKVIS software you get a lifetime license and free new versions for 1 year:
- Lifetime License
Your license never expires.
You can always download your version of the product and use with your license key.
The license includes free technical support.
- 1 Year Free Updates (*)
Your license includes 1 year of free upgrades to any new versions of the product.
You can download and use new versions that we released during one year from the 1st activation of your license.
After the period is expired, you still can use the software with your license, but you can't upgrade to the new version for free. You can extend upgrades anytime for the next 1 year.
If Upgrade Is Free
If you are eligible for free updates, just download and install the new version.
Usually you do not need to re-activate a license. But in some cases such necessity may occur; then use your serial number. You can find it in the Customer Room.
Please note that your key is valid only for the product and the license type that you have bought. For example, with a Home license to the Plugin version, you will not be able to update the Standalone version for free, only the Plugin.
If Upgrade Is Not Free
After a new version is released, if upgrade to this version is not free, you can:
- pay for upgrade OR
- stay with your old version.
In the first case, when your payment for upgrade is effected, re-activate the new version with your key.
In the second case, you can use your old version with your license key.
If your free update period has expired, please contact us and we will recommend you the best way how to get the latest versions.
Upgrade Licenses: How To Change The Type Of License
AKVIS offers several types of licenses. Each type answers its purposes.
For example, you can not use the Home license in commercial purposes. In this case you should buy the Business license.
If you bought the Home license by mistake, you can upgrade it to Deluxe or to Business.
Please choose an appropriate upgrade product at our store.
When your payment is effected, and you've received a notification from us that your license was upgraded, you can re-activate your license - just register the program with the same key. Now it has got a new status (type of license).
How to re-activate your license
To re-activate your license do following:
- press the Activate button in the About the Program window OR
- click on the Re-Activate button in the error message.
Possible problems and solutions
If you get the error message Invalid license key (see the error message), you should re-activate your serial number.
If you get the error Serial number already activated on different computer when activating your license key, please contact the support team.
