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.

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.
Changing a license key through the registry

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