What happens once your trial period is over?

We thank you for trying WinSQL Professional. Once your 30-day trial period is over, WinSQL will convert to the Lite edition. We hope that you were able to explore all features that are bundled with WinSQL Professional. We feel that WinSQL Professional offer features that are typically sold as separate products by our competitors.

If you enjoyed using WinSQL Professional and would like to upgrade from WinSQL, you may do so online using our secure website.

If you decide to continue using WinSQL Lite, you may do so for as long as you like. The serial number you have received will never expire.

Important

If you decide to upgrade to the Professional or Standard edition, all you need is a serial number. Once you apply a new serial number your existing binaries will get upgraded.

Every feature that comes with Professional or Standard edition will get disabled. Below is a partial list of features that won't be accessible in WinSQL Lite. For a complete list click here.
