Hello folks
I got Dorico 5 recently with the loyalty discount after first giving the trial a go.
In the Activation Manager I expected my Trial activation to be somehow upgraded to a full activation. But it lists both:
It’s just a minor thing, but is this ok? Or is there going to be some kind of mess around the time when the trial expires? Should I just deactivate the trial?
Let me know what you think.
IIRC the general advice has been that one can deactivate the trial and activate the purchased program and that nothing bad will happen when the trial expires.
Yes, they are separate licences – make sure you deactivate the trial, as I think it’s possible for the expired trial to take precedence under some circumstances, if it’s still active.
SAM shouldn’t allow expired licences to take precedence over current licences - it’s possible that this could have happened in early versions of SAM but it shouldn’t be happening now.
