Like the switch from 9.6.x.x to 9.8 you need a new activation kit. The trial should be running for 120 days without one.

When the license window pops up, make sure to simply cancel it, and don't do anything. Simply install the activation kit via "Install new software ..." - the license screen is for "floating license" only.

New versions always needed a new licence but you get at least 30 days
on the trial version without one...maybe more.

Will the same license key work for 9.9 that works with 9.8 or do we have to get a new one?
