The next time you start up Quantacula Studio, you'll receive a message indicating that a 30 day trial license is being generated for the new Extension. Try the Extension for up to 30 days, and if it delivers value, purchase it to convert your trial license to a lifetime license.

Building New Extensions

If you're a C# programmer, you can build your own Extensions using a development tool like Visual Studio or SharpDevelop. We offer a set of API documents that explain how to build each of the types of Extensions. If you wish to add your Extension to our Marketplace, contact us for details, we look forward to seeing our library of Extensions expand and grow!
