After free trial expires

Hi mingying,

As long as you save your file with the .story extension, you'll be able to reopen it when you purchase and activate your copy of Storyline. You won't lose anything by moving from the free trial to the purchased copy - both are the full version.

If you'd like to share your file with your colleagues to collaborate on it, you can definitely do so. It may be easiest to share the file by putting it in a common folder in Dropbox.

thank you Ashley, that's really helpfulf

No problem mingying, if you need anything else, please don't hesitate to ask!

can anyone here help me ?

I am using articulate story line 2 free trial  and today is my last day  before it expires .

I want to ask will my save file still be there when i re download the articulate software  again tomorrow .I also have a save file on my thumb  drive  but it might be corrupted 

As Ashley Terwilliger said over 3 years ago in an earlier post to this thread:

But my school did not purchase the software and we did not use any activation key

The .story files are saved and are always there. Anyone with SL can open them anytime. The only problem with the trial version is that it won't run after it expires, but whatever you create is permanent and fully functional.

So what u meant to say  is that as Long as i save my extension as story it doesn't matter if  the software I use is a free trial or purchase

Correct. And if you publish it, it will also always be usable.

Thanks I just hope my files are not corrupted
