For additional trial requests, or further assistance, please contact authorize@bluemarblegeo.com

  1. When the application is started, it will open the Register Global Mapper licensing dialog. Select the first option Active single-user or trial license (log in required) to automatically activate via the internet. Enter the email and password for your Blue Marble Geographics account.

    If you would like to store your log in information on the machine, check the Remember Me option. Note the activated license will remain on the machine regardless, this option just stores the login for future new activations on the machine, such as for a new module or trial license request.
