I just purchased
Asset Manager.
When will I receive my license key?
License keys are sent to the email address you used during
checkout usually within 3 minutes of your purchase confirmation.
However, some email notifications may get routed to your bulk or junk
mail folder. If you haven't received your license key in your
email inbox within 30 minutes, be sure to check your bulk or junk mail
folder. You may also retrieve it using our
license key retrieval page.
Why doesn't the license key I
just received work?
Asset Manager comes in two different editions, and the license
key you purchased must match the edition that you're entering it in.
For example, a license key for the "Standard Edition" will not work in the
"Enterprise Edition". You can check to see which edition you have installed
by opening Asset Manager and reading the caption at the very top of
the window. If it doesn't match the edition of the license key
that you purchased, download and install the matching edition
