License

A license is an activation code that unlocks the evaluation version and removes all limits and reminder messages. A Lifetime license never expires and works in future versions, giving you free upgrades. A One Year license expires after one year, then a new license is required to continue using the program. Internet access is not required (or used) for activation and the license is not tied to a specific computer. All license information must be kept confidential. If a license becomes public, it will be revoked by GoldWave Inc. and will not be replaced.

We are not permitted to provide information about obtaining a license due to store policies.
