The free trial

The trial starts the first time you open MarkCluster. The days left are shown at the bottom of the window. After the trial you can still open, read, search, print and export every note; editing and AI need a license.

Activate your key

  1. 1Buy a license on markcluster.com. The key arrives by email within a few minutes.
  2. 2Copy the whole key — it starts with MC1. (line breaks don't matter).
  3. 3Click Trial: … days left at the bottom of the window, or ⓘ About › License.
  4. 4Paste the key and click Activate.

The key is checked on your computer only. One license covers one person on up to three computers.
