ICDD License Extension
License Extension Procedure for PDF-2, DDView, and ICDD SUITE Release 2005 to 2016
Please Note: The License Extension Procedure was activated in 2010 and will continue for PDF-2, DDView and ICDD Suite products Release 2005 to 2016. PDF-2 2018 and later are not eligible for license extensions. The initial term of the License for PDF-2, DDView, and ICDD SUITE is five (5) years from the license registration key date. At the end of your five (5) year license term, you will need to do one of the following:
Option 1:
Purchase a license of the current release of the PDF-2 or PDF-5+. You may contact ICDD at sales@icdd.com to purchase your product license.
Option 2:
Extend your original license for one additional consecutive five (5) year term, free of charge, provided that the licensed user has the same organization name and address (i.e., the registered user), and the product license has not been previously renewed or converted to a PDF-5+ product.
Please Note: If you do not update your product or perform this free License Extension Procedure before your five (5) year license period expires, your PDF-2, DDView, and/or ICDD SUITE will not function past the original five (5) year license term.
