Both require the License Request Code, which contains device information details like the MAC address. Please copy or download this code to use for either activation method.

After purchasing, in the upper right go to the My Licenses page. Locate the inactive license, paste in your license request code to activate it, and download the license file.
Use the request form to input your personal information. Be sure to correctly fill out both your email and the copied License Request Code. Once you've verified the details are all accurate, submit the form. The trial license will be sent to the email you provide as soon as it is prepared.
