Licensing and activation
What is Activation?
Activation verifies if you have a genuine copy of Nitro Pro by validating your product serial number
against our license database. Once your serial number is validated, your software license is enabled and
you can start using your product. The activation process is anonymous and does not require any personal
information, nor is any sent to Nitro or its partners.
NOTE: You may also download and trial Nitro Pro for 14 days after installation without activating the
software. During this time, you will have access to all of Nitro Pro’s features.
