Frequently Asked Questions: Quick View Plus
What is my serial number?
Quick View Plus requires a license key to be entered during the installation process. Your license key or serial number will be sent to you with your order details. When activating your license no personal or private data is collected, as stated in our privacy statement (see below).
Quick View Plus Privacy Statement
Installation of this software requires activation. The activation process will associate the hardware on which the software is installed with the serial number that was provided at the time of purchase. The terms of your purchase agreement will state how many times the serial number may be used for activation.
The activation process does not collect any personal information. It only creates a unique hardware identification of the PC where the software is installed.
If you uninstall the software, you may be required to activate the software again.
The information collected during the activation process is used solely for the purpose of enforcing our license policy related to the software.
Are updates (and new version releases) included in a Quick View Plus subscription?
Customers with a Quick View Plus 2020 subscription will be notified via e-mail when any updates to the program are available. Any updates (or new version releases) are included at no additional charge as part of the annual subscription.
Are there any requirements to run Quick View Plus?
Quick View Plus requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6 and the Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package.
If you do not have the Microsoft .NET Framework installed on your computer, you will be prompted to download and install it.
Can I try Quick View Plus for free?
If you would like to try Quick View Plus, please contact us at (877) 829-7325 or sales@avantstar.com for more information.
What operating systems does Quick View Plus support?

Note: Quick View Plus does not support Microsoft Edge, the new web browser included with Windows 10. Quick View Plus does continue to support Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 that is also included with Windows 10.
What's new in Quick View Plus 2020?
There are numerous new features and enhancements to Quick View Plus. Click here for an overview list.
How many file formats does Quick View Plus support?
Quick View Plus supports more than 300 file formats. For a complete list, visit Specifications
Why doesn’t Quick View Plus integrate with Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox?
Google has removed NPAPI support from Google Chrome. Mozilla has removed plugin support from Mozilla Firefox. As such, Quick View Plus will no longer integrate with Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
Quick View Plus continues to support integration with Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Why doesn’t the integration with Internet Explorer seem to be functioning correctly?
You want to match up the bit version of Quick View Plus (32-bit or 64-bit) with the bit version of the application you are integrating with. As the default version of Internet Explorer that launches is the 32-bit version, you will want to install the 32-bit version of Quick View Plus to establish the integration.
Quick View Plus 64-bit would be used if you are integrating with the 64-bit Internet Explorer (not common). Quick View Plus browser integration supports Internet Explorer 11.
Can I use Quick View Plus in conjunction with a third-party program?
Yes, please contact us at (877) 829-7325 or sales@avantstar.com for complete details.
How can I move my license to another system?
If you have a system that is no longer using Quick View Plus and you wish to reclaim your license, simply perform an uninstall. The last step in the uninstall process will connect and return your license back to your pool for redistribution.
How do I reclaim my license if something happens to my computer?
In the event of a hard drive crash or similar event where you no longer have access to the computer or otherwise unable to uninstall Quick View Plus to release your license, please contact support@avantstar.com and include your serial number and the cause for the license loss. They can work with you to manually return your license.
Why do I get an error message when I try to activate my copy of Quick View Plus?
- Verify that you have an active internet connection and that you are running the installation/activation with an account that has local administrator rights.
- Verify that you are using your current serial number and entering it exactly as given (including dashes).
- If you have a company firewall or proxy server, please contact support@avantstar.com for IP and port information to whitelist the Avantstar activation site.
- If you have reached your license count maximum, you can uninstall Quick View Plus from unused machines to reclaim licenses.
- If you are using Quick View Plus integrated with a third party solution. It is recommended to activate Quick View Plus by launching Quick View Plus itself as a standalone application or during the setup/installation.
Why do I get prompted for activation via my Internet Explorer integration?
Internet Explorer’s Protected Mode is a security feature that will block Quick View Plus from being able to see the validated activation on your system. You can either disable Protected Mode or add the site you are accessing to the list of Trusted Sites (where Protected Mode is disabled by default).
To test to see if this setting may be affecting your activation in such a way, try launching Quick View Plus as a standalone application outside of the browser. If it launches and runs without prompting for activation it should be valid, the browser security feature is likely blocking it when running through the Internet Explorer integration.
Can the activation be done as part of a network scripted deployment?
Yes, the basic steps for setting up the scripted deployment with the serial number are:
- First run the primary Quick View Plus executable.
- Choose the “Unpack Scripted Deployment Files” option. This will extract the necessary setup files to a location on your deployment server.
- Create a configuration file and place it in the setup directory. A sample copy of a configuration file “Sample_Setup.cfg” will be unpacked to the directory specified above. Simply edit it and enter your serial number where noted. Then save/rename your edited configuration file to ‘setup.cfg’ and place it in the same setup directory for use.
- Then call the setup executable and pass the configuration file to perform the installation and activation with the serial number. (Ex. C:\qvp32sng\setup.exe setup.cfg).
- You may use other switches, such as the -s switch to have it do a silent install if you like (ex. C:\qvp32sng\setup.exe setup.cfg -s)
- A copy of the Administrator’s Notes ‘admin.pdf’ will also be unpacked to the setup directory that contains full details on scripted deployment options.
