    Activating your installation

    Tabular Editor 3 is commercial software. Visit our home page for pricing details and purchase options. If you haven't previously used Tabular Editor 3 you are eligible to a free 30-day trial.

    The first time you launch Tabular Editor 3 on a new machine, you are prompted to activate the product.

    Product activation

    Activating using an existing license key

    Once you purchase a license for Tabular Editor 3, you should receive an e-mail with a 25-character string which is your license key. When prompted, enter the license key and hit "Next >" to activate the product.

    Enter License Key

    Note

    For multi-user license types, you will need to enter your e-mail address in addition to the license key. Tabular Editor 3 will prompt you to do so, if the license key you enter represents a multi-user license.

    Note that Tabular Editor 3 installations are activated per user. In other words, if multiple users share the same machine, each user will have to activate the product on their Windows user profile.

    Requesting a trial license

    If you haven't used Tabular Editor 3 before, you are eligible to a free 30-day trial. When choosing this option, you will be prompted for an e-mail address. We use the e-mail address to validate whether or not you have an existing activation of Tabular Editor 3.

    Note

    Tabular Editor ApS will not sent unsolicited e-mails or forward your e-mail address to third parties, when signing up for a 30-day trial license. View our Privacy Policy for more information.

    Changing a license key

    When Tabular Editor 3 is activated, you may change your license key in the Help menu by choosing "About Tabular Editor".

    About Te3

    In the dialog, select "Change license key". Note that this option is only available if no model is loaded in Tabular Editor. If you already loaded a model you can close it under File > Close model. Once you click "Change license key", Tabular Editor will prompt you whether you want to remove the current license:

    By accepting this, the current license is removed, and you will have to re-enter a license key to use the product.

    Important

    Once a license key is removed, as described above, the product will not be usable by the current user on that machine until a new license key is entered.

    Registry details

    Tabular Editor 3 uses the registry database for storing activation details. An alternative to using the "About Tabular Editor" dialog for changing the license key as shown above, is to enter the registry database and delete all values from within the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Kapacity\Tabular Editor 3 registry key.

    A system administrator may assign Tabular Editor 3 licenses by specifying the LicenseKey and User values under each user's SOFTWARE\Kapacity\Tabular Editor 3 registry key.

    Registry Editor

    Changing a license key through the registry

    If for some reason you are unable to change the license key using the procedure outlined above, you can always "reset" the license assigned to Tabular Editor 3 by using the Registry Editor.

    1. Close all instances of Tabular Editor 3
    2. Open the Registry Editor in Windows (Start > Run > regedit.msc)
    3. Locate HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Kapacity\Tabular Editor 3 (see screenshot above)
    4. Delete the User, LicenseKey and Activation values
    5. Close the Registry Editor and restart Tabular Editor 3

    Tabular Editor 3 should now prompt you for a license key, similar to when the tool was first installed on the machine.
