Starting a free trial

Draftable Clean includes a self-serve free trial. If you don’t yet have a license, you can start a free trial without contacting sales first. On first launch, after you accept the terms and conditions, the Activate Draftable Clean window opens. Click Start a free trial, then click Go to open the trial form on the Draftable website. Your trial product key is sent to you by email. Enter it in the same window and click Activate to start the trial. If a trial has already been used on your Windows account, Start a free trial is not shown. See Single-user Installation for setup steps.

​
Checking license status

To check your license status, open Settings > License. This shows:
  • Status: Trial, Licensed, or Unlicensed
  • Edition: Your Draftable Clean edition
  • Expires: The license expiry date and the days remaining, Expired once that date has passed, or Perpetual for a license with no expiry date
Opening the License tab revalidates your license with the licensing server, and an expired license is refreshed automatically. If your license has been renewed, open Settings > License to see the updated status without restarting Draftable Clean.

​
License not activating

If your license is not activating:
  1. Ensure you have network connectivity — Draftable Clean requires a connection to draftable.com on port 443 for license verification. See Network Requirements.
  2. Verify the product key was entered correctly.
  3. If the issue persists, contact support@draftable.com with your product key and any error messages.
If your organization deploys product keys centrally, activation is attempted automatically when Draftable Clean launches. Where that does not happen, confirm with your administrator that the Configure product key policy is applied and holds a valid key — see Configuring preferences with Group Policy. This policy requires the v26.9.0 administrative templates.

​
Deactivating or transferring a license

If you need to deactivate a license — for example, to move it to a new machine or reassign it to another team member — see How to deactivate your Draftable Clean license. Deactivating in the application does not by itself free up an activation on your license. If you need to deactivate licenses in order to reuse them elsewhere, contact support@draftable.com and we will provide the right steps.
