How do I Manually Activate LiveCode?
If you are installing LiveCode on a computer that does not have internet access you will need to use manual activation. You may also need to do this if you are behind a firewall or if automatic activation has failed for you for some reason. To do this you select the "Manual" tab in the activation screen, and download your license file from your account. This lesson shows you exactly how to do this.
Download the license file from your account
Log in to your LiveCode account using your email address and password. At the top of your My Products tab, you will see a link "Generate LiveCode offline activation file". Click on this to download your license.
Create your passcode
When you click on the link, you will be asked to enter a passphrase. This can be anything you like, be sure to make a note of it when you enter it as you will need it again when you license. If you cannot remember this passphrase after you have downloaded the license file, you can simply go through this process again and choose another passphrase.
Save the license file
Click download, and choose a place to save the license file. Ensure that it is saved with the filename it selects by default, and that no filetype is appended to the end of the name. It should end in .lic, if you find that .txt or another filetype is added, delete this before using the license. Once you have downloaded the license, transfer it to the computer you want to license LiveCode on.
Use Manual Activation
Start up LiveCode and select the "Manual" tab on your activation screen. Click on the search icon next to the "License File" box. Select your LiveCode license from wherever you saved it to.
License LiveCode
(1) Select your license file. (2) Enter your passphrase and (3) click Activate. That's it! Your LiveCode will be licensed on your offline computer.
