Trial license
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you have registered an evaluation version request on the ETSAP website, then you would already have a **Trial license key**. If not, you can get one as shown here.

If you don't have the Trial key:
    *	On Activation form, click 'Get Trial Key'
    *	Complete the Registration form to get Trial key by email

Paste it into the Activation form, and request Activation. This will then bring you to the VEDA2.0 Start Page, if activated successfully.

Permanent license

.. note::
        If you are already using a trial license, you need to deactivate it before you can activate the permanent license.
