References
- ↑ If you don't see this button right after login on the website, go to support / my account menu on the website.
- ↑ This is important for clients who own more than one valid license.
- ↑ Clients who own multiple licenses can set the number up to the number of licenses they own. As per the Wordfast end user license agreement, freelancers are allowed to use a license on two computers at a time, so they are allowed to do this procedure twice to generate two different keys.
- ↑ We also recommend making a good note of the activation key. The activation key is made of four 4-character chunks separated with hyphens.
- ↑ You may need to use a private internet email account if your company has a maximum-security firewall. A firewall may prevent you from sending the activation string or receiving the license file.
