I downloaded the free version for NaNoWriMo and purchased a copy in December. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to use it right away as I was in the hospital. When I go to open it from my desktop now, it opens with a box that tells me it’s the free trial version and I need to purchase a new one. When I go to my confirmation email and click the Download button, nothing happens. I have my “code” for purchase, but can’t get anything to come up on my screen. Originally, LL sent me to Paddle and they weren’t of help. I just sent them another email and they sent me back to LL. I miss people!! Can someone help me?
Hi
That window (nag screen) telling you that you need to buy a license, it should have a blue link to where you have to enter the code you received via email after your purchase.
I can’t produce a screenshot, my version is licensed. I no longer get the nag screen.
You don’t need to download a new version. Just find that blue link.
The nag screen doesn’t have any blue link. It just has an OK button.
OK then, you never used it ?
Well, I used it during the free trial. Then I purchased a license.
I am asking because I am about to suggest that you uninstall it and download anew.
If you tweaked your preferences, you might lose that.
Oh geez. Ok. So I should be able to uninstall it and then would I use the Download button in my confirmation email??
No.
Download from there:
The download button from your email would likely work, but this link I am 100% certain it works.
So, if I haven’t used it for 30 days, then once my 30 days are over, then I should get a blue link to enter in my code for the license?
I suspect that you were running the Nanowrimo version still, and that it behaves a tad differently.
This new version will have a nag screen offering you to enter your code. (Should)
Yes it was the Nano free trial version. Do I need to uninstall that one, download a NEW free trial one, use it for 30 days and THEN be able to get a blue link?
Uninstall.
Download from the link I posted.
Install.
Enter your code right away (today).
Be done.
No need to wait, no.
Okey Dokey. Thank you Vincent for you time and assistance. You’ve been super helpful!! Have a wonderful day!!

Yes, I think the NaNo version can’t be unlocked like the regular trial version. Probably something to do with the fact that it has a different time limit (fixed date instead of 30 days of actual use).
