These products were discontinued in 2020 and no more support or updates are available for them. This includes downloading, installing, and activating.
​
If your software is still working on your machine, you can continue using it for as long as you wish. However, every Legacy user will soon encounter compatibility problems with modern operating systems, as well as our current activation server.

If you need to reactivate, you will discover that this - unfortunately - cannot be done.

Regrettably, we cannot assist with Legacy licenses. The system we used to manage them, and to generate offline Activation Keys, was made obsolete and inaccessible.
We want to help.
We simply can't. 😔

A perpetual (also known as "lifetime") license allows you to continue using the software version you purchased without further cost until it becomes unstable. Depending on OS updates, this can be for several years or possibly less and cannot be predicted. It's not a guarantee of use for your entire lifetime.
​
Even with a lifetime license, you need to keep your software updated to maintain compatibility with modern systems. We cannot provide help on software that has not been kept updated.

We apologize for this inconvenience and hope you will consider converting to our current product line: https://pdf2xl.com/pricing
