Activation Dialog

AccdbMerge can run in two modes - basic free version and paid Standard mode that provides extended functionality. On the first run application opens this dialog, asking you to choose which application mode would you prefer - Free, Standard Trial or to activate purchased key for Standard:

The dialog contains the following options:

  • Use the Free version
    Use the basic application features for free.
    Can be changed later (see below).
  • Activate the free AccdbMerge Standard trial
    Activate the free fully functional two-weeks trial of the Standard version.
    Once the trial expired, you will be suggested to switch to the Free mode or to enter the purchased license key for Standard.
    Requires internet connection, click Help to get details about offline activation if needed.
  • Enter the AccdbMerge Standard license key
    Please enter your purchased license key here:
  • Check for updates on startup
    You can switch later from Free to Trial/Standard and change Updates settings in the 'Information about current license' dialog
  • Interface language and documentation - if expanded, contains the following text:
    At the moment, the interface of this application is available only in English.
    The main tools and detailed dialogs, including this one, have online documentation accessible
    via the F1 shortcut. This documentation contains excerpts from the application's texts.
    Basic Yes/No and Ok/Cancel confirmation dialogs do not have separate documentation pages,
    but their title bar includes a Copy button.
    You can use a translator to translate any required descriptions from the application interface.
    • Trial mode provides the same functionality as Standard for the period of two weeks. It has no functional limitations compared to Standard. When Trial expires, application will show the same Activation dialog, suggesting you to switch to Free or Standard mode.

      Note that trial activation requires direct internet connection. If you don't have it, you can get a trial key by email. Please click on Help link - it will show another view with your application instance id:
