What happens to my name and email when I start the free trial?
Short answer: Your name, email and country are used only to set up and support your trial, email your verification code and send a couple of reminders. No spam, nothing sold on, no card needed, and no files involved.
They're used only to set up and support your trial: to email you a one-time verification code, to look after your trial, and to send a couple of reminders so it never lapses by surprise. There's no spam, and nothing is sold on.
The trial asks for three things — your full name, your email address and your country. No card is needed. Your files are not part of registration; only those details are sent.
You need an internet connection for this step because the code arrives by email. If you already bought a licence, choose I have a licence to skip registration.
