Install your MacHeist license

If you have trouble installing you license, please take a look at this video:

Is it possible to copy and paste the license information?

In fact, the easiest way to get your product registered is to copy the contents of the body of the confirmation email to the clipboard: In your mail client application, select and open the mail. Place the cursor somewhere in the email body text and press the key combination Command-A. This will highlight all text in your mail as shown below.

Press then Command-C or select Copy from the menu named Edit.

When you first launch the application with no previous license entered (including a demo license), you will see the following window:

Click Install License. The clipboard's contents containing the previously copied license information will then be retrieved and get your application registered. Alternatively, you can enter this information manually as described here, but it is prone to erroneous input, so we generally recommend to rather use above method of copying and pasting text from the mail.

Can I enter the license key code manually?

Yes, you are also free to enter your license key code manually. This may even be necessary, if for some reason the above described registration didn't work, e.g. if you have copied something else to the clipboard in the meantime or you're running your application on a different computer than the one which you received the mail on.

Click Install License

You will see an entry form looking like this:

Enter your name in the field next to Name. This needs to be spelt exactly as in the email for reference. If you haven't entered an organisation's name at the time of your purchase or if the organisation entry field read [private], please leave the organisation field blank. Again, consult the mail.
Enter the license key exactly as received. When typing in, please take care that the key must not contain the capital letter 'O', but the number '0' instead.

After having entered the key, press the OK button. This will have the application register the key and store it for future use.

I still can't seem to get it to work. Who can I turn to?

If your license key still does not work please send us an email containing this information:

• Name and Email address used when purchasing
• Product version
• MacHeist Bundle

Can I install Multi-User licenses over the network?

There are a couple of ways to achieve this. First of all, instead of entering the license key you can also copy the license key file that is saved under /Library/Application Support/Boinx/Licenses/ to all of your machines. These are some of the methods:

1. You install the machines from a disk image with the entire system on it. This means you create a master installation and simply copy that to all the machines. That way the license key is copied over automatically.
2. Using a tool such as Apple Remote Desktop you can copy the license key file to all machines on your network simultaneously.
3. If you have a Mac OS X Server at hand, you can create a networked Library directory (automounted at /Network/Library/ on the clients) and store the license key file there. The apps running on the clients would then use that license key file.

Can I upgrade my BoinxTV Sponsored Edition to the Full Edition of BoinxTV?

You can upgrade the BoinxTV Sponsored Edition to the Full Edition of BoinxTV for US$300 in the Boinx Kagi Store.

What's the difference between BoinxTV Sponsored Edition and BoinxTV Full Edition?

Technically there is no difference. The BoinxTV Sponsored Edition requires a 5 second credit for BoinxTV in every video created with BoinxTV. The idea behind the Sponsored Edition is that we'd like to "buy" advertising time with this rebate. As of version 1.7 the BoinxTV Sponsored Edition is no longer available for purchase, but existing licenses continue to work.
