License prematurely renewed

[Dwight Arthur]

I've messed up my licenses and I'm looking for someone who can explain the current status and what comes next.

I received an email announcement of a flash sale on Nitro licenses. It was sent to an email address that only Notro/cleverbridge has, so i Assumed that it was a legitimate offer to renew my license that I got about a year ago. It seemed to be a good price, and I also bought the "free upgrade" add-on.

When I went to activate the new serial number I discovered that the last time I bought a license was in March, 2021. Then, I discovered that in the help/about section where you can activate licenses, the license there was an old one, from 2017 or 2018. The license I bought in 2021 had not been activated. So I activated the serial number that I bought in 2021. 

Questions

1. How can I find out whether or not my 2021 license included the free upgrade add on?

2. When will my 2021 license expire, one year from when I bought it, which would be March 2022, or one year from when I activated it, which would be January 2023?

3. Assuming that my 2021 license expires in January 2023, one year from when I activated it, will I then be able to activate the new license I bought today and use it until January 2024?

I could provide my serial numbers if that helps but I don't think it sounds safe to post them on a public forum.

Hello @Dwight Arthur,

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

Looking at your purchase records, you purchased a 'Nitro PDF Pro 13 - Upgrade' with serial number 50493x-xxxxxx-715220 last March of 2021 and kindly note it is perpetual (no expiration). 

After digging further, I can also see you did purchase a NEW Nitro PDF Pro 13 with Product Updates (Unlimited product updates included for 1 year from date of purchase)' with serial number 50493-xxxxxx-447908. This is also a perpetual license.

When you made this new purchase, is this for a different machine? I asked because both licenses are a single-user license can be used on two machines as long as you follow the rules outlined in our End User License Agreement (EULA):

'Licensee may install one copy of the Licensed Software on a single computer. The primary user of the computer on which the Licensed Software is installed may install a second copy of the software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable computer or a computer located at his or her home, provided the software on the portable or home computer is NOT USED at the same time as the software on the primary computer.'
