Description

How to apply an Access Code to update a license file (available only with Statistica 12 or later).

CAUTION:  Access Codes start with either the letter 'U' or the letter 'E' and are 15 alphanumeric characters in length. Access Codes are requested from sales or fulfillment. These are easy to confuse with serial numbers, product keys, network IDs, and install codes.  Please be sure you are using an Access Code.  If unsure, please check the order email, contact your sales representative, or create a support case here.  

If ONLY the license file needs to be extended AND a new order has been processed, an Access Code may be requested by creating a case here.  Please attach license file to the case.  To find you license file, see How to find the Statistica license file (stat.lic).
