# What does "You're all set — this Mac already has an active trial" mean?

It means Storage Studio recognised that this Mac has already started a trial, so there's nothing to register again. Click **Continue** and pick up where you left off.

This usually appears after a reinstall or on a Mac where someone already set up a trial. Your remaining trial days carry on as before; reinstalling doesn't add or remove any.
