Topic: Do I Need to Download a License File?

[Lauren]

I went to download my filePro software and saw the link to download a license file. Do I need to do that?


If you are using filePro Plus 5.0, you will not need to download a license file. [/size]
However, if you are using Windows, you will need to download an authentication file.
This file if available directly beneath your program downloads.

If you are using filePro Plus 5.6, you will need to download the license file.
In order to request a new license for your copy of filePro Plus 5.6,
you must provide at least one piece of information asked for on the License Request Form.
