Notes:

• To convert a beta or preview version to a full version, uninstall the beta or preview and then install the current trial version.
• To qualify for an upgrade license, you must provide a valid serial number for an earlier version of the same Adobe software application as your tryout.
• Ensure to uninstall the trial versions of Authorware or Homesite before you install the full version.

Product content is available for up to three years after the product is released.
