Arturia is superb at answering tech support questions. I just shot them the question and should get an answer soon.

You probably havenāt activated it in Arturia Software Center yet. Arturia manages its licenses there. Itās two step - you register on their web site, and activte in the desktop app.

Thanks @howard. I thought I had, but now Iām not sure. Iāll take another look at it. Hopefully Arturia support can shed some light on it also.
At least now I know itās supposed to be the full version and not just the demo version, based on yours and @sully s replies.
Yeah it should definitely be a full version!
Itās super cool, and would be worth the $200 even if you didnāt have it for free already. Lots of great sounds in there across all the V Collection synths. For me it was the best possible ad for V Collection ever - I sprung for that last month 
One thing to note though - the free license for Analog Lab comes with and is tied to the keyboard. If you sold the keyboard to someone else itās possible they activated the free license. I donāt know what Arturia does for prior owners in this case. My guess is they will let both owners activate it in that case but I do not know for sure.

You bought the V collection? Is that the one that sells for like $250? Is it worth the money in your opinion?
$600. The synths are $150-200 each if you buy them separately, or $600 for all 28.
It does go on sale for half price (I pounced on that).
I do not think that for you it would be worth it - it only makes sense if you really want to program the synths. Most of the synth presets - which is most likely what you will want - are in Analog Lab. And Analog Lab does let you tweak some paramaters, just not fully program the synths to make new patches.
The latter was important to me (and I have been geeking out on it) but will likely be meaningless for you.

Good plan!
Thatās a good point @howard. I remember when I had the Arturia keyboard playing around with AL IV and AL V, but donāt recall it timing out after 20 minutes like it does now. It was only yesterday that I noticed it said āDemoā.
Now you have me wondering if they deactivated mine because someone else activated it on their end. 
I guess Iāll find out for sure when I hear back from support. If they say Iām deactivated, Iāll think seriously about purchasing it because I really do like it.

Yeah Analog Lab is great. Probably best to wait for Black Friday for any serious music software purchase though

Well, I heard back from Arturia support and they walked me though deactivating and then reactivating AL VI and V, and now they are both fully functional.
I was fully prepared to purchase Analog V on Black Friday, but now I donāt have to. I feel as though I just saved at least $100, probably more.

That $100 plus another $65 just went out the door. I signed up for another Ariane Cap study group which starts this Friday.
