Questions about Trial Version
Aug 10, 2017

Asked our IT peeps to install trial version of Storyline 3. They asked me three questions I'm passing along to you. Please forgive me if this information is available on your site (all I saw was a "give us your email" field).
- Install in a separate folder or will it overwrite parts of your current version?
- Will it cleanly uninstall if the upgrade is not purchased leaving your current version intact?
- Will it lock your system from using the trial after a short period until the license is purchased for the software and installed rendering your current software inoperable until the upgrade is complete?

Hi Murl,
All great questions and I can help!
1. Storyline 3 is a separate installation and version, and won't impact any other versions of Storyline that you have installed. What you may see is the icon associated with your files will be updated to match the Storyline 3 icon and they'll try to open by default with SL3. Not to worry - open the Storyline 2 program and navigate to the file you'd like to open
2. Yes, you'll want to follow the uninstall steps here.
3. The trial of Storyline is for 30 days. If you don't purchase before those 30 days are up, Storyline 3 won't open and files you created in SL3 aren't backwards compatible to SL2. If you're needing a little trial extension while you wait for your purchasing department - just let us know here!
I hope that helps, and if you have any other questions let me know or reach out to our Sales team!
