License Settings¶
Manage your Certum Draft license from the License tab in Preferences.
License Status¶
The license panel shows your current status:
- Licensed - Your license is active and valid
- Email - The email address associated with your license (if provided during activation)
Changing Your License¶
If you need to enter a different license key (for example, if you received a new key from your administrator):
- Open Preferences (⌘,)
- Go to the License tab
- Click Deactivate License
- Enter your new license key
- Click Activate
Deactivation
After deactivating, you'll need to enter a valid license key to continue using Certum Draft.
License Key Format¶
License keys look like this:
CERTUM-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-[signature]
The signature portion after the last hyphen is a long string of characters. Make sure to copy the entire key when pasting.
Getting a License¶
License keys are provided by your firm's administrator. If you need a license key:
- Contact your IT administrator or the person who manages Certum Draft
- They will generate a key for you using the License Generator tool
- You'll receive the key via email or internal message
Troubleshooting¶
"Invalid license key"¶
- Make sure you copied the entire key, including the long signature after the last hyphen
- Try pasting the key instead of typing it
- Ask your administrator to resend the key
License stopped working¶
This can happen if:
- The app was updated with a new license verification key
- Your administrator revoked all existing licenses
Contact your administrator for a new license key.
For Administrators¶
If you're responsible for managing licenses, see the License Management guide for information on generating and distributing license keys.
