There are two licensing options for buying BlueSky Statistics – an authorised user license or a concurrent user license. If you have an authorised user license it means that one named individual can use the software and the license is tied to an installation on a specific computer. If you have a concurrent user license then you can install the software on as many computers as are connected to your local area network and a BlueSky central license manager (installed on a network server) will monitor the number of simultaneous users ensuring that the total number allowed is not exceeded. If you have an academic department license then up to 150 people can use the software and if you have an academic site license there is no limit.

If you have a commercial license for BlueSky and you need to install the software on a new PC (because you have changed or upgraded your computer) then our support team can enable you to do this – please contact support@bluskystatistics.co.uk.

License keys are sold as a one year subscription so your license will expire one year from the day of purchase, with the exception of the student edition which expires after 6 months, and the free trial version which expires after 30 days.

Once your current license has expired you will need to purchase an appropriate license or renew your license. Smart Vision Europe Ltd will already have contacted you to help you figure out how best to proceed.

To take out a free trial of BlueSky Statistics simply select the version you’re interested in and fill in your details. You’ll immediately get access to a zip file containing a fully functioning version of BlueSky Statistics and you will be able to install and use the software for one month. When that month is up we’ll send you a reminder email including a link you can click on if you wish to purchase the product and continue using it.  Once payment is verified and processed you will be provided with a license key that you will use to activate the BlueSky software from within.

No, there is no need to uninstall and install again after your trial expires. You can purchase a license key and activate the same installed version of BlueSky application.

No. After your trial expires you will need to purchase a license key and activate your product if you wish to keep using it.

We strongly recommend that you keep your license key safe and make a note of it in case you need it again. It is non-transferable and you should not share it with anyone. If you lose your key and your subscription is still valid, you can contact support@blueskystatistics.co.uk with your details. After verifying your details we will resend you your key.

Both are fully featured versions of the software. The only difference is that the trial version will expire after 30 days whereas the purchased edition will continue to work as long as you have paid for your license.

If you are dissatisfied with the product you must notify us via email within 15 days from the purchase of BlueSky license with your contact details and the reason for your dissatisfaction. We will review your request for refund immediately and will inform you of the outcome.

You will be entitled to get standard software updates as long as you have a valid license.

Either your trial has expired or is going to expire soon. The pop up reminds you to purchase a license before the BlueSky application becomes inactive. There is no need to install fresh copy of the BlueSky software.
