How to activate an AnyDesk license if the program still works with free version limitations. Here are useful and up-to-date recommendations:

A situation where the license is paid for but restrictions are not removed usually indicates an activation or license-linking issue.

Make sure you are logged into the exact AnyDesk account under which the license was purchased. If the software is used without signing in, paid features may not be applied.

Check whether the license has been correctly linked to your device. In some cases, the license needs to be applied manually or you may need to log out and log back in after the purchase.

Restart the AnyDesk application and, if necessary, your device. Sometimes changes take effect only after the session is refreshed.

Ensure that the version of AnyDesk you are using supports your license type. Very outdated versions may not correctly recognize the license status.

If the limitations persist, document the issue on Xolvie, including the purchase date and license type. A public complaint often helps trigger an account review and proper activation of the paid features by the service.
