I chose the option to activate offline but in going through the activation process I found that I had to go online in order to get the activation key, so much for supposedly activating offline. For the record, my workstation that I use for my photography does not have the ability to go online. Guess I am stuck using my old versions of Photoshop and Lightroom...
Hi,
Thank you for your comment.
Please consider that Capture One trial can be activated only online.
However, the offline activation is possible for Capture One Pro/(for Sony)/for Fujifilm/for Nikon with the perpetual license.
I have downloaded the trial, but I didn't get a trial key, and can't find a way to request one. When I login to my account in the application I only get "Enter your license code below" and when I click "Don't have a license code?" it sends me back to the download webpage.
Hi Matthew,
Thank you for your comment.
Please, login to your account on captureone.com
Then click on the Manage Licenses section. You will see your Capture One trial license listed there.

Hi,
Thank you for your comment.
Please, check your e-mail box, including spam and advertising folders, to find the e-mail from Capture One with the license code for Capture One Pro trial.
If that did not work, please log in to your account on captureone.com website, then go to the main page www.captureone.com, and click "Try it free" in the upper-right corner of the screen.
You will be redirected to the trial download page, click Download and you should see your trial code then.

Hi,
Thank you for your comment.
This error is common for many Windows 7 users as our security system uses TLS 1.2 protocol. Meanwhile, this protocol is not enabled on Windows 7 by default, so creating a secure SSL/TLS is not possible.
Thus, you have to enable them manually. Please proceed with the instructions outlined in this article:

Hi, I am asking for instructions on how to activate the Capture One 20 for Nikon license when the trial license is activated? I cannot enter my full license code in the license window.
Do I have to wait for the 30-day trial version?
Hi,
Thank you for the comment.
You will have to deactivate the trial license first.
Go to the main menu and select Capture One -> License (Mac) or Help -> License (Windows), then click Deactivate in the window.
Afterwards, relaunch Capture One and enter your license key for Capture One for Nikon.
Hi, Playing with version 21 and the speed edit seems like a game changer. I am trying to decide if I buy it with or without styles - can you confirm if the trial should come with the styles to try as I don't seem to have them? Many thanks, Phil
Also, is there a way to display the camera exposure settings etc on the thumbnails as you can in Lightroom? Thanks,
Hi Philip,
Thank you for the comments.
The trial version on Capture One 21 includes built-in styles. There are no special styles in this version. You can visit our website to see the examples of styles usage https://www.captureone.com/en/products-plans/styles.
Regarding your request for camera exposure settings, I'll forward your suggestions to our Product Management team as something to consider in a future release.
Hopefully, your feedback contributes towards a future version of Capture One.
Hi, is it possible to pause the trial? I activated it but will be traveling in a couple of days without access to my PC. So, is it possible to pause and re-activate the trial key later while I'm back to my computer?
Michael

I downloaded the trial on my Mac and tried it out for the 30 day trial period. Enjoyed the trial. Ready to purchase...Came to the end of the 30 days and tried to subscribe: clicked on ‘purchase subscription’. Then was prompted within a small window if I desired to also purchase ‘preset bundle’ for add’l $166. I clicked ‘no thanks - go to the cart’ upon which the screen goes dark opaque and never goes to the ‘cart’ for completing the purchase. I checked the Safari add-blocker …retried and still getting a dark screen, essentially blocked from continuing to complete purchase of the subscription. Not sure why the trial worked and now my efforts to purchase were prevented. ? ..back to LR ..?
