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 here.
