Unable to activate license


Jason Boriss

Recommended Posts

I have Nitro license that I've deactivated on one computer and need to reactivate on another.

When I try to activate it says invalid.  The activation portal did not resolve my issue.

I'm shocked that I have to ask for help activating my license by writing on a community forum, especially after purchasing 4 licenses.

Hello @Jason Boriss,

Thank you for the private message.

Please be informed that '-20: Error - Invalid License Number' means the serial number you are trying to activate is for a different version of Nitro Pro. Looks like we need to uninstall the current version of Nitro Pro on your computer and install Nitro Pro 13. We then activate it using your serial number. Kindly follow these steps:
 
1. Uninstall Nitro Pro from your computer by going to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features then reboot the machine.

2. Please clear all your downloads folder or delete all downloaded Nitro installers. This step is important because we noticed that if you are saving all the installers and you download them in the same folder (like the downloads folder), the EXE can pick up any MSI installer in that folder and you may pick-up one of the older builds instead of the newly downloaded package.

3. Download your Nitro Pro 13 using these offline link/s:

x32 http://install.nitropdf.com/professional_13310605/en/retail/nitro_pro13_ba_x86.msi 
x64 http://install.nitropdf.com/professional_13310605/en/retail/nitro_pro13_ba_x64.msi

To know if you have 32-bit or 64-bit, please refer to this article: 
https://support.microsoft.com/en-ph/help/15056/windows-32-64-bit-faq

4. After installation, you can activate by opening Nitro Pro, clicking on the Help tab > About Nitro Pro > Activation and entering your serial number.

Thank you for choosing Nitro and I hope this helps.

I had to uninstall Nitro 13. The key was only shown to me with the first 6 numbers, I don't have a complete key because it was an update from 12 to 13. I can't unlock Nitro 13 again. what now?

Hello @Karsten,

Thank you for reaching out to us through our Community Forums!

Please note that Nitro Pro 13 is designed to hide the 12-digits of your serial number for security purposes which is why I have sent you a private message to provide your key.

Also allow me to share we have Nitro Pro 13.31 and you can install this latest build using below direct MSI installers:

x32 http://install.nitropdf.com/professional_13310605/en/retail/nitro_pro13_ba_x86.msi 
x64 http://install.nitropdf.com/professional_13310605/en/retail/nitro_pro13_ba_x64.msi

To know if you have 32-bit or 64-bit, please refer to this article:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-ph/help/15056/windows-32-64-bit-faq 

After installation, you can activate by opening Nitro Pro, clicking on the Help tab > About Nitro Pro > Activate by entering your serial number.

Happy new year and I hope this helps!

Hello @Karsten D.,

Thank you for the private message.

Nitro actually sells two different versions of Nitro PDF Pro, the Mac version and the Windows version. The reason you are having issues is that you purchased an MS Windows serial number.

Kindly go to https://www.gonitro.com/pricing#nitro-pdf-pro and be sure to toggle the page 'For Mac' before you purchase the software.Once you get the correct, Nitro PDF Pro 13 license for Mac you should be able to activate the software.

Unfortunately, we cannot simply switch or change a license from one platform to another as each platform has its own merchant and activation server.

Thank you for your patience and please let us know how it goes on your end.

Hello @Daniel Wagoner,

To further assist you, could you please provide the serial number of your Nitro Pro? This matters because our business installers are different from the online ones.

You can send the details of the license in this post so it will be visible to all the moderators. Rest assured we will hide the serial number before making the post visible to this thread.

Lastly, are you looking for the 'Activate' button in our Activation Portal?

Hi @Amit Vorkadi

Thank you for getting back to me and for providing this information.

Please note that we no longer support Nitro Pro 9 and its activation servers have been shut down which is why you are having issues activating and its installers are no longer available for download.

We recommend upgrading to our latest version, Nitro PDF Pro 13, which comes with significant stability and security improvements, as well as many feature enhancements, in particular in conversion and OCR functions. To upgrade to Nitro PDF Pro 13 at a discounted rate, please visit our Upgrade page https://www.gonitro.com/pro/upgrade


Alternatively, you can upgrade to the latest build of Nitro Pro 12. Per our Sunset Policy, https://www.gonitro.com/nps/product-details/sunset-policy , we stopped making feature enhancements to version 12 once we released Nitro PDF Pro 13.

You can find these Nitro Pro 12.16.9.574 installers and activate it with your current Nitro Pro 9 serial number 234602-xxyyzz-486526:

x32 http://install.nitropdf.com/professional_12169574/en/retail/nitro_pro12_ba_x86.msi

Sorry I don't think your reading my posts.....

It the PORTAL that the issue or the license NOT the Nitro software.

The PORTAL is telling me the license numbers are NOT correct,,, NOTHING to do with the Leap software I have

All my licenses give the same error when  I post them into the portal to check the license
