Please double check if you installed Origin with the correct serial number by selecting the Help: About Origin menu item.

  • If the About Origin dialog displays a Serial Number, and it is not the same number you received from OriginLab, please follow the instructions on this quick help page to correct it.
  • If the About Origin dialog does not display a Serial Number and displays "License Type: Trial" instead, please uninstall Origin, and follow the instructions you received from OriginLab to install it again. Make sure you select the "Install Product (requires serial number)" option, and not the "Install Origin(Pro) Trial" option.
