inFlow Inventory comes in two editions, Free and Standard. Upgrading to Standard Edition unlocks the full set of features of inFlow to allow you to run your business more smoothly. For example, you can also connect multiple licenses for the Standard Edition to allow you and your colleagues to work together at the same time in multi-user mode.

More information on licensing

You can compare the two editions online at http://www.inflowinventory.com/software-editions.aspx.

To upgrade, you need to first purchase one or more licenses from our website, http://www.inflowinventory.com. Once you have completed this, the license keys will be sent to you immediately. You will also be given a Web Account E-mail and Web Account Password, which you can use to help manage your license keys.

Once you have your license keys, you need to activate your copies of inFlow Inventory. To activate:

1. From the Help menu, select Upgrade to Standard Edition.
2. Enter the Web Account E-mail and Web Account Password into the boxes in the Software Activation dialog that appears.
3. Click Next.
4. If inFlow has detected that you have license keys from another Web Account, it may prompt you to merge the two accounts together. This might happen if both you and a colleague purchased inFlow licenses. Doing this enables you to share the licenses together. This requires the Web Account Password for the other Web Account E-mails to merge.
5. You will then be shown a list of license keys under your account. Choose a license to activate your copy of inFlow on.
6. Click Next.

Using the Web Account is recommended if you have more than once license for multi-user mode, since it helps you to keep track of your licenses and which ones have been used. However, you can also activate directly using a license key:

1. From the Help menu, select Upgrade to Standard Edition.
2. Enter the Web Account E-mail and Web Account Password into the boxes in the Software Activation dialog that appears.
3. Click Next.

If you are connected to the Internet, then this should complete the activation. If you are not connected to the Internet from the computer you wish to activate, you can activate online from another computer.

1. If necessary, return to the Software Activation wizard by selecting Upgrade to Standard Edition from the Help menu.
2. Click the Save Key File button, and choose a portable location to save the file to, like a USB drive.
3. Bring the file to another computer that has access to the Internet, and submit the key file to http://www.inflowinventory.com/software-offline-activation.aspx to receive your activation key.
4. Enter the activation key into the Software Activation wizard on the original computer to be activated.
