PhotoBook Activation

After you have downloaded AKVIS PhotoBook, run the setup file and follow the installation instructions.

During the 10-day trial period, you can try all the features of the program without registration. Click the TRY IT button in the start window.

After the trial period has expired, you have to activate the software. You do not need to download another copy of the program. Just activate the installed one.

Your computer must be connected to the internet during the activation process. If it is not possible, we offer you an alternative solution.

You can choose either Free or Business version. For commercial use, you need the Business license.
