Activation guide
Enter your name, e-mail address and license key in the program. It takes about a minute and needs an internet connection once.
Three steps
Your license key arrives by e-mail after checkout, usually within a few minutes. Every program activates the same way.
After checkout the store e-mails you the license key. Select it in the e-mail and copy it, so that you can paste it instead of typing. Cannot find the e-mail? Look in the spam folder, or look up your key in the store.
The window is in a different place in each program: see where to find it below.
Type your name and the e-mail address, paste the license key and press Activate (Register in Easy Screen Recorder and Easy Video Compressor). The program checks the key with our license server and saves your license on this PC. Some programs restart to apply it.
The license is stored in a file in your user profile (%APPDATA%, in the program's own folder) and is verified on the PC itself.
The internet is only used for this activation step. Your photos, recordings and videos are never uploaded.
Enter the key on the computer you want to license. Use a second license for a second computer.
Step 2 in detail
The Information tab shows your registration status afterwards.
During the trial a reminder may appear from time to time. Choose Not Now to keep working, or Activate to register. The Information tab shows your status.
The dialog also shows how many trial days are left, and Buy now opens the purchase page.
Buy now in the same window opens the purchase page.
Before you activate
You do not need to activate to try a program. The trial starts the first time you run it and lasts 15 days. This is what changes when it ends.
| Program | During the trial | Without a license |
|---|---|---|
| Batch Watermark Creator | 15 days, every feature | Trial exports carry a small "unregistered" mark; activating removes it. After the trial, processing images needs an activated license. |
| Picture Merge Genius | 15 days, every feature | After the trial the program is limited until you activate it. |
| Easy Screen Recorder | 15 days, no watermark | New recordings get an "Unregistered" watermark in the middle of the picture. An unregistered copy also records at up to Standard quality (70) and 30 fps. |
| Easy Video Compressor | 15 days, every feature | Videos can no longer be processed until you register. |
No key needed for: Batch Watermark Creator for Android, PicQuilt and the RetroScreen Classic Collection are free. Just install them.
If something goes wrong
Copy the key from the e-mail and paste it instead of typing it, and make sure there is no space before or after it. Enter the name and e-mail address exactly as you gave them when you ordered. A key that was just paid for can take a few minutes to appear in the license database; wait a little and try again.
Activation needs an internet connection once. The program contacts software.iotcrazy.com over HTTPS, so a firewall, proxy or security program must let it through. Try again on another network if you can. After activation the program does not need the internet to check your license.
Install the program and enter your license key again. One license covers one computer; to run the program on a second computer you need a second license.
The license lookup in our store shows the keys for the e-mail address you ordered with. You can also track an order there.
