And I got no Email with a activation key for trial whatsoever So I don’t really know what the problem is. Thank for help. ---

Hi @steffen.schuetze The trial license is activated on the first run of the software. You don’t need an activation key to activate the trial. For some reason, your computer was identified as already having activated a trial. I’ll send you a 30 day activation key on a private message. ---

Hey @sahitishashank8, if you installed Factory I/O once and the trial period expired, reinstalling the program generally won’t give you a new trial license. You would have to use a different computer or buy a license. Or maybe your school has a license? ---

Buenas, he descargado la prueba gratuita pero no me deja activar la licencia ya que no me llega un correo con la clave, tarda en mandar el mensaje o porque es? ---
