It’s easy:

1. Download your license file from the order confirmation email. (Note, the link is not a webpage – its blank. But there is a file there. With some email clients you should right click the link and “Save As..” or “Save Target As…” and the license file will download to your computer). Save this file somewhere safe, for example to your Documents folder.

2. Open MIDI Guitar/MIDI Bass and after two minutes when the “trial interruption” dialog pops up, click “Apply License”. A file dialog will pop up. Now navigate to the file directory where you saved the license file and select the license file.

3. Done.
