Overview

After purchase, your Product Key is shown on the checkout page and sent to you by email. You can also find it anytime in your account under Profile → Product Key.

First activation on the desktop app

1. Launch the app. On first start you’ll see the Activate License dialog (you can open it later via Help → Activate License).
2. Paste your Product Key. Copy the key from your purchase email or the Profile → Product Key page and paste it into the field. Click OK. 

Verify activation

• Full‑version indicators: higher export resolutions enabled; watermark removed.

Troubleshooting

• “Product key is invalid.” Copy the key directly from the email (avoid typos/extra spaces). If the key is still in use on another computer, deactivate it there first.
• “License already in use.” Go to your account Profile → Product Key and click Deactivate License, then activate again on the current device.
• Didn’t receive a key? Check your spam folder and your account dashboard. If needed, contact support@deeparteffects.com.
