Get community edition after trial

[CamiCat]

Hello friends,

I’ll explain shortly my problem.

Initially i have installed trial version of UIPath and uninstalled it.
Now i am trying to install community edition but i am not able to install it.
How can I solve this issue?
Is it possible to invalidate that license key?
Thank you so much,
camilla

Activation failed with error: 0
Error description: No Error
License status: Device ID already activated, trial not allowed after code activation

Do you know how to solve it?
Thank you so much,
Camilla

Hi @CamiCat

See the general licencing information by @ovi here:

License errors

Hi everyone, I’ve gathered here most of the license errors that we have encountered during Studio activation. Please feel free to complete the list by replying to this post. “Device Id already activated, trial not allowed after code activation” After you have once activated a device with a license code in the past you cannot use the free edition on the same device - it is not an error, is expected behavior. After code activation, the device ID remains registered in the system and it does not …

“Device Id already activated, trial not allowed after code activation”

After you have once activated a device with a license code in the past you cannot use the free edition on the same device - it is not an error, it is an expected behaviour. After code activation, the device ID remains registered in the system and it does not allow you to go back and activate CE.

In special situations where the above should be approved (going to Community after using a trial or license key) you will need to reach out to support and give details on your request and also provide the device ID of the machine. If the request is approved, support will release the device ID from the system and it will be possible to activate CE.

You can also see my post here that is also quite informative:

Community Edition Usage

Hi @patil.gandhali58 See here: In short, yes, companies can use Community Edition (as long as the company is not too big, see the link for details). You should also be careful and note the difference between the Community Forever-Free version and the 60-days Trial for Enterprise customers. The Community Edition will be forever free with limited functionality (such as forced auto-update to the new Stable version or lack of unattended automation options). If the company is big enough, you …

In short, using the 60-day Trial license means that you were in an Enterprise scenario where the Community Edition license did not apply and cannot be used following the end of the 60-day Trial.
For any special situations you can contact our Support channel and it will be judged on a case by case basis.

My computer had active Enterprise license, now I cannot active Community Edition with errors

@Lori You can not switch from Enterprise license to community license. When you activated enterprise license, your device key is registered in the database. Only when that activation is disabled, you can register to community license. Contact UiPath Support to disable the enterprise license. Hope this is helpful.
