Hi,
Just joined this group and am unfamiliar with the setup, so please forgive any faux pas I may commit.
I’m a “recovering Finale 26 user.”
I downloaded the Dorico 30-day free trial. After playing with that for a while, I decided to go ahead and make the switch. I opted for Finale’s offer of Finale 27 and Dorico Pro for $149. I downloaded Finale 27 successfully, but now, how do I download Dorico?
Or, alternatively, since I already have the 30-day trial version, is there a way to activate that (without paying again!) into a regular, full-time version?
Specifically, what do I do and how do I do it?
Incidentally, I do have a “Dorico Pro Crossgrade: Download Access Code.”
Les
Welcome!
You won’t need to download the software again: the demo is just the app with a time-limited licence.
It will just be a matter of using the code to create the licence. You should just need to enter it into the Download Assistant app.
(You may need to delete or disable the demo licence, to make sure it’s not taking priority.)
Welcome to the forum, @smith945803.
As Ben says, all you need to do is enter the Download Access Code you received in your email from MakeMusic either into your Steinberg account here or in Steinberg Download Assistant.
Once you’ve done so, run Steinberg Activation Manager, and make sure that your permanent Dorico Pro 5 license appears there. Click Deactivate next to the trial item, and then click Activate next to the permanent license, and you’re all set.
