Activating Flowcode
<sidebar>Sidebar: Flowcode Help Overview:GetStart</sidebar>
To allow Flowcode to compile and access locked components it requires a valid license, you can activate Flowcode offline by using a license file, username and key.
The Flowcode registration application is a tool that runs when performing the CD key or activation process.
The registration application is executed when you click the 'Activate' button or by pressing the Enter key button on the Flowcode activation screen which is accessed by clicking 'Activate' from the 'Help' menu in Flowcode (Help > Activate...).
The icon to the top left of the 'Activate Flowcode' window indicates the current status of Flowcode.
Red - Free/Demo Mode - No active license.
Amber - Trial Mode - Trial license activated (30 day trial).
Green - Activated - Valid license activated.
If you have purchased a Flowcode license then you can sign up for a Matrix user account and enter your license key. Once your user account has been setup with your Flowcode key you can use the account username and password to activate your copy of Flowcode.
Please note that the User Account is not the same as the Matrix User Forums account so your forum user name and password will not work to activate your copy of Flowcode.
You can activate Flowcode offline by using the 'Manual Activation' window which can be accessed by clicking the 'Manual activation...' button from the 'Activate Flowcode' window previously mentioned.
Manual activation can be done with a Flowcode username, a license .key file and a key including the =====Start key===== and =====End key===== tags before and after the key.
Please note that newer operating systems will require that you run the registration application as an administrator to allow it to correctly perform the activation process on your computer.
