It’s a new device that hasn’t had EMC on it before. My installation of V9 was the first time for this new device
I suspect “because you imported your prev eM CIient V8 data” from your Win 7 computer which has already been activated with your existing serial number, it knows you have already initally had a 30day trial, so wont do another 30day trial “even though its a different computer”.
So if you have Windows 11 on a differant computer and want a trial of V9 for 30 days, you would more than likely have to setup your account “as brand new without your existing data” with a different email address and either a free or paid license . If thats not the case @Gary will let you know.
But as you have Win 11, i personally wouldn’t bother with trialing V9 as V10 will be out this year which also has “alot more features and improvements” anyway, so in my opinion you are better to trial V10 with your existing data as @Gary suggested, which will also trial longer with no activation key required using the Beta for 3 months as per the announcements page link.
Ps I personally have been trialing the V10 Beta on Windows 11 and Mac Sonoma, and have found it imported my data and works great. Its very stable for me personally and I highly recommend it.
