Can I continue using my Autograph Starter projects once I upgrade to Autograph Creator/Studio?
Once you activate your Autograph Creator license for the first time, Autograph will prompt you to convert your 2 Autograph Starter projects so that they can be used in Autograph Creator/Studio. This operation can only be done once, to prevent license violations.
I made projects in the free trial version of Autograph prior to the launch of Autograph Starter, can I still use them?
Older free trial projects made before the launch of Autograph Starter can be opened in Autograph Starter but cannot be saved.
