  5. Contact your reseller or contact us, providing the Hardware ID.
  6. The salesperson will contact you to confirm the product type.
     
    Information: For perpetual licenses, the offline license file will be version locked. For subscription licenses, there will be an expiration date based on the license term (3 or 5 years) and it is possible to upgrade to more recent versions during the validity period using the same offline license.
  7. Once this is confirmed, Pix4D will send the offline license (.lic file).

    Hi,

    Thank you for trying out Pix4Dmatic. 

    Are you using any kind of proxy settings? Do you experience the same issue when you try to log into Pix4Dmapper?

    Best,

    Hi Siwze, 

    Could you please send the request to the sales team, and they will have a look why the Pix4Dmatic trial was not activated on your account?

    Best,
