had purchased the software--you can design, purchase downloads, and
print. The software in the MDS 2 Trial, MDS 2, and MDS 2+ is exactly
the same. However, there is a difference in the amount of digital
content included with each version of the software. The MDS 2 Trial

the MDS 2 Trial is the only item you order, you will not be asked for
any credit card or payment information. If you are a new customer, you
will need to create an account.
Q: How do I install the MDS 2 Trial software after I have ordered it?
A: You can access your MDS 2 Trial download through the Downloads
section of your account. Make sure you select Mac or Windows, and the
download and install wizards will walk you through the rest of the
process.
Q: If I already have the original My Digital Studio, what happens to that program if I install the MDS 2 trial?A:
When you install MDS 2, the download wizard will ask you where you
want to install the program. You can install MDS 2 directly over your
original My Digital Studio program. This will allow you to have access
to all the downloads you have already purchased for My Digital Studio in
your new MDS 2 program without having to re-download any of your
digital content. You can also choose to install MDS 2 in a different
location on your computer. If you do this, you will have to download
any of your previously purchased My Digital Studio content into your new
MDS 2. If you do install MDS 2 in a different location, it will not
alter your original My Digital Studio program.
Q: Will I be able to use any downloads I have purchased for
My Digital Studio with the MDS 2 Trial? Will I need to download them
again?A: You will be able to use any of your previously
purchased digital content with MDS 2. Depending on how you have
installed your MDS 2 software, you may or may not need to download your
content again. If you install your MDS 2 Trial directly over your
original My Digital Studio program, you will not need to re-download
any of your content. If you install MDS 2 in a different location, you
will need to re-download any of your content in order to access it in
MDS 2.
Q: Can I place a print order with the trial version?
A: Yes. You have full access to everything you can do in MDS 2 for a
full 30 days. This includes full designing functionality, printing, and
the ability to purchase downloads.
Q: Do my 30 days start as soon as I download MDS 2?
A: Your 30 day trial period starts as soon as you launch the program.
It does not matter when you download the program, your 30 days will
start as soon as you actually launch (open) the program.
Q: Will the trial still last 30 days even if I order it in the middle or end of the month?
A: You can order the MDS 2 Trial at any time. The trial period is not
tied to the calendar. The trial period will begin as soon as you launch
the program, and you will be able to use it for the next 30 days.
Q: What happens after the 30-day trial period is over?
A: When you launch the software after the 30 day trial period is over,
you will be prompted to enter a product key. You will not be able to
use the software again until you have entered a product key. You can
get a product key by purchasing MDS 2 or MDS 2+. The product key prompt
will include a link to the
software page of
MyDigitalStudio.net, which will tell you where to order the software.
We strongly recommend purchasing MDS 2 before your 30-day trial period
is over. If you wait until after the trial period has expired, you will
have to re-download all you digital content.
Q: How do I purchase MDS 2? A: Simply add MDS 2
(Disc 130645 or Download 130644) or MDS 2+ (Disc 130647 or Download
130646) to your next order. A product key will be e-mailed to you;
after you complete your purchase, just enter that product key when the
program prompts you to. If you purchase the disc version of My Digital
Studio, you will need to use the installation discs in order to access
the included digital content. The installation wizard will walk you
through the process, including entering the product key (which you’ll
receive with your shipped discs). You will not lose any downloads or
projects from your 30-day trial period. We strongly recommend
purchasing MDS 2 before your trial period has expired. If you wait
until after the 30 days are over, you will have to re-download and
install all your digital content.
Q: Can I purchase the software and enter the product key before the 30-day trial is over?
A: Yes. You can purchase MDS 2 and enter your new product key at any
time. After you have purchased your software, click the “Register”
option instead of “Continue with Trial” when you open MDS 2. You can
then enter your product key. We strongly recommend purchasing the
software before the 30-day trial is over. If you wait until after the
trial period has expired, you will need to re-download all your digital
content.
Q: What if I don’t want to purchase the software at the end of the trial period? A: You can uninstall the software at any time.
Q: What if I do the MDS 2 Trial, and decide I don’t want to
upgrade my software? Will my original My Digital Studio program still
work?A: Yes. If you have installed your MDS 2 Trial on top
of My Digital Studio, you will need to reinstall your original My
Digital Studio program, and any downloads you have purchased, in order
to have access to all of your artwork. If you have installed the MDS 2
Trial in a different location, simply uninstall MDS 2, and your
original My Digital Studio program should not be affected.
Q: Do I get to keep the content included in the MDS 2 Trial?
A: No. We have included a generous amount of content with the free
trial so you and your customers will be able to design a broad variety
of projects during the trial period. You will not have access to this
digital content when the trial period ends. All the MDS 2 Trial content
plus downloads worth an additional $350 US/ $450 CAN are included when
you purchase MDS 2+. The MDS 2 Trial content is not included when you
purchase MDS 2.
Q: What happens to downloads I purchase during the 30-day trial period?
A: You will have continued access to any downloads you purchase during
the trial period. If you choose to purchase the software, you will
simply need to enter a product key, and you will be able to use all your
downloads like normal. If you do not purchase the software, you will
still have access to your downloads through your download manager, and
you will be able to load them to the digital design software of your
choice.
Q: Will my saved projects be lost when the free trial ends?
A: You will not be able to edit any of your projects through MDS 2
after the trial period has ended unless you purchase the software. If
you do chose to purchase the software, you will be able to access all
your projects. If you don’t choose to purchase the software, we
recommend you save your projects as jpg files. You will then be able to
use them like you use any of your jpg (picture) files.
Q: Can I have two free MDS 2 Trials?
A: No. The MDS 2 Trial will only work once. After your 30 days are
over, you need to purchase the software to continue using the program.
Q: Are there other free My Digital Studio downloads available?
A: We do occasionally offer free My Digital Studio downloads. These are
generally promotions that run for a short amount of time. Download
some of our free downloads for the 2010 In Color Card Stock and
Designer Series Papers. You can find links to those downloads
here.
