Activating your license
At any time during or after the trial, click Activate in the splash screen. You’ll be prompted to enter:

Then click Activate to proceed.
Online (automatic) activation
The software connects to the MindGenius server to validate the key and unlock full functionality. You must be online/connected to the Internet.
Firewall issues/manual activation
If your firewall blocks automatic activation, use the Activate option which guides you through offline/manual activation. You'll need to contact support for assistance (via email or phone). Note manual activation isn't available for subscription-based licenses.
📞 If Activation Fails
- Check your firewall or proxy settings—ensure MindGenius can reach activation servers.
- Re-enter your license number carefully.
- For offline/manual activation, you'll need to contact MindGenius support.
- UK users can call +44 (0)1355 247766 (Mon–Fri, 9 am–5 pm) or email sales@mindgenius.com for both purchase and activation support.
