Getting started

  1. Download and install ASCEND for your operating system above.
  2. Launch it — you'll have 14 days of full access, no key required.
  3. When your license key arrives by email, click Activate (top banner) or open Settings → License, paste the key, and you're licensed permanently.

First launch may show a one-time "unknown publisher" notice — on Windows click More info → Run anyway; on macOS right-click the app → Open. This is normal for independent software and only happens once.
