Activating a License
PrintShop Mail Connect comes with a30 day trial license period during which time it is not
necessary to have a commercial license to run the application. This allows time for reviewing
the applications and for organizing a commercial license. If a modification to the trail license is
required, such as to allow an extension to the trial period, or for extra functionality, then a new
activation code will need to be requested.

is a machine-specific code that is generated based on the computer's hardware and software
