Trial Version

You can test-drive a fully functioning version of APCC-ST or APCC-PRO free for 30 days. Download and install the desired version below.  Once the installation process is complete and you launch the application, the Trial Registration Information screen will appear.  Follow the instructions for the 30-day trial. 

First timers - Trial or Purchase

  • Be sure to review all hardware and software requirements on the APCC Standard and Pro product information page. 
  • Contact our staff to register your email address in our APCC database. If you do not complete this step, you will not receive a license key (permanent or trial). 

APCC License was Issued Previously and APCC is Already Installed

  • Beginning with version 1.9.x,  APCC will query the license key of your existing copy of APCC to determine the date the license was issued.
  • If your license was issued within one year prior to the release date of the new version, all of the new features and updates will be activated following the software installation. 
  • If your license date is older than one year prior to the release date of the new version, then only the bug fixes and minor updates will be activated. In order to activate the new features and upgrades, you will need to purchase a one-year subscription. Please refer to the Order and FAQ tabs of the APCC webpage for more information and review the version history to see what features are included in the most recent version.
