I was sent an activation code that would give me an additional two weeks on the free trial version before I had to buy it or give up on my idea. I sent an email to Articulate and explained my problem. I used it to begin a project for a job aid that I felt was very needed in our company, and I got about half finished with it before the free trial version expired. The company I work for is not on board with e-learning, so I just worked with it when I had a few spare minutes, between routine duties. Here is my dilemma: Months ago, I downloaded a free trial version of Storyline 2 to my computer at work.
