I already bought Storage Studio — how do I skip the trial on first launch?

\n

Short answer: Click I have a licence at the bottom-left of the registration screen to jump straight to activation. You can also activate later from your purchase email's Activate button or Settings → License.

\n

On the registration screen, click I have a licence at the bottom-left. It skips trial registration and takes you straight to the activation form.

\n

You can also activate later:

\n
  • From the Activate button in the email you received after buying — it opens Storage Studio and activates in one tap.
  • From Settings → License.
