Why is SnapGene Viewer now called SnapGene?
SnapGene and "SnapGene Viewer" are now combined as a single application called "SnapGene".
For more details go to the SnapGene Viewer download page – https://www.snapgene.com/snapgene-viewer.
For SnapGene versions 7.2.1 and earlier we provided separate applications for the full featured SnapGene and the free feature-limited "SnapGene Viewer".
From SnapGene version 8.0 onwards we provide a single SnapGene application. If SnapGene 8.0 is run without a license (unregistered), or if your subscription license expires, then SnapGene will run in "Viewer" mode. Viewer mode is indicated by a banner at the bottom of the main window.
In Viewer mode, click the "Close" button on the right side of the banner to hide the banner until the software is restarted.
In "Viewer" mode, padlock icons mark functionality that is only available in the activated version of SnapGene.
When in "Viewer" mode, SnapGene provides the same functionality to that found in the earlier stand-alone "SnapGene Viewer".
Activate SnapGene with a valid license to enable all functionality and remove the "Viewer" banner. See Download, Install and Activate SnapGene.
