When initially downloading and installing Droid Transfer on your PC, it will run in "Demonstration mode". This will allow you to try out the software, with some demo limitations, before considering purchasing a full license.
If you purchase a Droid Transfer license through our website, you will receive an activation code. You can use this code with the steps in this guide to activate your license and unlock the full version of Droid Transfer.
If you purchased Droid Transfer through Microsoft Store instead, you will not need an activation code. To use the Microsoft Store version of Droid Transfer, ensure that you install the program directly from Microsoft Store, rather than from our website. This will ensure that your purchased license is automatically applied.
This guide is for users who purchased a license through the Wide Angle Software website.
