Older Versions of Expert PDF (Product Doesn't Appear In Account)

If you have a perpetual product it will be linked to a specific version of Expert PDF. A perpetual license means you paid one time and have access to that version of Expert PDF forever.

If you do not see your product inside Expert PDF, but you do see it in your account on the website, it is likely your products are assigned to an account with a different email address or if the version you have installed does not match your product.
