For all Studio modules, the trials must be started from Adobe® Illustrator®. Do not try to start trials from the Studio Visualizer application, or the Studio Toolkit application. |
When starting a trial for Studio Toolkit for Labels via the Esko Plug-ins window in Adobe® Illustrator®, you will also be able to use the Toolkit for Labels features in the Studio Toolkit application. Hence, you will have both the functionality in the Toolkit for Labels plug-in in Adobe® Illustrator® and in the Studio toolkit application.
