Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

What is the latest version and how do I download it?

The latest version of ANTS Profiler is 3.1. If you are a new user, you can download it for free, and try it for 14 days. If you are a current customer, you can upgrade to the latest version, by performing a Check for updates from the Help menu of the program.

How much will it cost me to upgrade to the latest version?

To find out how much it will cost to upgrade to the latest version, please see our page about upgrading.

I have downloaded the latest version but don't want to upgrade. Can I revert to my previous version?

ANTS Profiler 2.7 and 3.xx can run side by side without any problem. You can have a 14-day free trial of ANTS Profiler 3.xx, even if the trial for 2.7 has expired.

I haven't completed my evaluation and would like to extend my trial period. How can I do this?
