Resetting trial after major update

fifonik wrote on 4/10/2024, 2:29 AM

I evaluated VP21 using trial version before update 3 released and that triel already expired. I was not satisfied back then and decided to keep using my VP19.

Update 3 has many performance changes in change log and I'd like to re-evaluate it.

Is it possible to reset the trial so I can do it on the same PC?

Thanks.

There are three ways:

  • Reset your Windows, which will lose the installed software and personal files on the system disk.
  • Format your system disk and reinstall Windows.
  • Evaluate it on another PC.

I hope the developers can reset the trial limitation as this is almost like a new program version (including incrementing the project versioning).

1 and 2 definitely not an option for me.

3 is not an option as well as it might work on another PC (different CPU/GPU), but not the one where I will use it.

Do you mean I should try to contact support?
