While evaluating the trial version, I ended up creating a plan that I would now like to save. How do I activate the trial and not lose my work?
In order to activate a Chief Architect or Home Designer Trial version, you must first purchase a full version product key. Follow the steps below to purchase a key and activate the trial version.
Trial versions can only be converted to full programs of the same title.
For example, the Home Designer Professional trial cannot be converted to a full version of Home Designer Suite. This means plans started in the trial version of Home Designer Professional cannot be saved to work in the full version of Home Designer Suite.
