14‑day free trial
After installation, MindGenius opens with a splash screen showing your remaining trial days (14 days total).
Activating your license
At any time during or after the trial, click Activate in the splash screen. You’ll be prompted to enter:
- Your name
- License Number (formatted like

Then click Activate to proceed.
Online (automatic) activation
The software connects to the MindGenius server to validate the key and unlock full functionality. You must be online/connected to the Internet.
Firewall issues/manual activation
If your firewall blocks automatic activation, use the Activate option which guides you through offline/manual activation. You'll need to contact support for assistance (via email or phone). Note manual activation isn't available for subscription-based licenses.
📞 If Activation Fails
- Check your firewall or proxy settings—ensure MindGenius can reach activation servers.
- Re-enter your license number carefully.
- For offline/manual activation, you'll need to contact MindGenius support.
- UK users can call +44 (0)1355 247766 (Mon–Fri, 9 am–5 pm) or email sales@mindgenius.com for both purchase and activation support.
