5] What to do if you do not have an Esko ID?
Creating an Esko ID is simple. All you need to create an Esko ID is an e-mail address and, if you are already an Esko customer, your Company Code.
Create your Esko ID hereUse your corporate e-mail address when you register your Esko ID. In many cases this will allow us to automatically approve your Esko ID, so that you will get your confirmation e-mail immediately - no manual review step required!
If we cannot automatically approve your Esko ID based on your corporate e-mail address, we will review your request within 24 hours, and after approval you will receive a confirmation e-mail.
This approval step makes sure that your company code is never misused by someone else and that only people from within your company have access to company-specific data.
6] What if I get a license key error?
To troubleshoot this issue, proceed as follows:
- Check if the Network License Manager is up and running.
If no problems with the Network License Manager can be found, proceed to the next step. - Check the connection from your computer to the Network License Manager.
7] How long does it take to activate a trial license?
If you're worried you won't be able to get along with your work while the trial is installed...DON'T! The activation happens in the background, so you can perfectly continue with what you were doing while the installation is completed.
8] What software can I trial?
Not all software is available for trial. Here's a list of all available trial downloads.
