Getting started with MindManager

When you start MindManager, you are prompted to enter your license key, or you can enter it at any time by clicking the File tab, Help, and then License Key.

Trial mode

Before you enter a valid license key, you can run MindManager for 30 days. This is known as Trial mode. MindManager is fully-functional in this mode.

Viewer mode

When the Trial Mode period ends, you will be given the option to purchase the software, or continue to use the full version by entering your license key. If you do not enter a valid license key, MindManager runs in a reduced functionality or ”Viewer” mode. You cannot save modifications to maps or create new maps. No existing files or maps are harmed when MindManager changes to Viewer mode.

After you enter your license key, MindManager will return to full functionality.

Purchase a License Key

If you downloaded the trial version, you can purchase a license key online. On the Help tab Product group click Purchase. You will be directed to the Mindjet web site where you can purchase a license key. You will receive an email message containing the key.

How can I tell whether I've already entered my license key?

• On the File tab, click Help. Your license information appears at the right side of the screen.

• Click License Key to enter your license key, or Purchase to purchase a key.
