# Upgrading License from Trial to Purchase

This topic provides the user with information about upgrading from trial to purchase.

## Content



ActiveReports.NET provides a trial version to test out and evaluate all features of the Professional Edition for a total of 30 days without a product key. To completely use the benefits of ActiveReports for production, you need to upgrade the license from trial to purchase, which can be done by purchasing a product key (Standard or Professional Edition). After purchasing the license, the user can activate the key using MESCIUS License Manager. For detailed steps, refer to the [Licensing a Developer Machine](/activereportsnet/docs/developers/ar-how-licensing-activereports/licensing-developer-machine) topic.
