PrivateWave license can have the following states:
- Full: you have a valid license.
- Waiting for server response: unknown status because of license server unreachability
- Trial: you have a license that is valid for a 10 days trial period with professional version.
- Expired: the license is expired
Upon first installation PrivateWave grants you 10-day trial license with full functionality with the professional version. At the end of the trial period, the software automatically switches to expired mode and you will not be able to send messages, make or receive calls, but only secure messages can be received.
Trial period is activated after first installation occurred on specific device. Further installations on the same device do not grant more trial periods or extended ones!!

To obtain valid license codes you have to contact your Service Provider Operator.
Once you have the code you can enter it directly in the application to activate PrivateWave .
Most of the times you do not need to insert licence codes necessary because they are provisioned by your Service Operator along with client settings, via Automatic Activation (please read Automatic activation)
