  1. Click on the Install License button in the 'Welcome to PRIMER 7' dialogue box. (Note: If you have already exhausted your 30-day trial, a message may appear to advise you that 'Your evaluation period has expired'. If that happens, simply click on Install License to carry on with the instructions to activate your licence.)

  2. Copy and paste your 32-character Licence Key code into the 'License Key' box and click on Install. (Note: the installation key shown in the image below is not a valid licence key - you have to paste in your own!)
