FORScan Only Allows two trial keys per Email address and Personal Name or Business name(could try a different name or email)! The Two month trial is not transferable between different Hardware ID's(IE Computers) so you must have requested and received two separate trial Key's!
The only ways are, reapply when one of them expires, contact FORScan and see if they will remove the key listing for the Hardware ID that you no longer have(they are not obligated to do so but have reportedly done so) using the instructions at this link: https://forscan.org/contactus.html!

The other way and probably better is the Paid one year and with some contact to FORScan can be transfered(very Little money compared to what the Equivalent Ford Software(IDS/FJDS/FRDS) costs for even a 72 hr license( IDS is $150.00US for 72 hr access) and you are helping insure this program stays available)!
This does give you access to more FORScan features than the two month trial(Online outcode/incode PATS programming for some vehicles after ~2012 2014 and full private database access to Firmware files for module programming)!

That is the choices and the Paid is up to you! I renew mine every year and I would not go back to using a trial for anything now!
