Start Your 14-Day Trial (or Activate)
On first launch, you can use all features free for 14 days — no license key required. If you already purchased a key, click Activate License and enter it now.

🔑 License Activation
How to activate your purchased license key on this device.
Receive Your License Key
After purchasing, you'll receive an email from support@bizoraerp.com with a license key in the format XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX. Check your spam folder if you don't see it within 5 minutes.
Open the Activation Screen
On first launch, the activation screen appears automatically. If you're already inside the app, go to Settings → License → Activate License.
Enter Your Key
Paste or type your license key and click Activate. Bizora ERP will connect to the license server (api.bizoraerp.com) to verify and register this device. This requires an internet connection for the first activation only.
Done — Works Offline
Once activated, Bizora ERP runs fully offline. The license is verified locally on every launch. The app only connects to the server for periodic re-checks (once per week).
⏱️ 14-Day Free Trial
All editions include a full-featured trial — no credit card required.
When you install Bizora ERP for the first time, a 14-day trial starts automatically. The trial gives you access to all features of your downloaded edition with no restrictions. A countdown banner at the top of the app shows remaining days.
After 14 days, the app will display the license activation screen. Your data is never deleted — once you activate with a purchased key, everything is exactly where you left it.
