Why is my license key not accepted directly after purchase?
You have recently purchased one of our PRO software tools and the product activation via license key does not work directly. Please note that you have purchased a digital content, here the cancellation conditions for consumers explained in our T&Cs apply. Within the withdrawal period, special conditions apply and we need appropriate consents from you. If we do not have these consents, a license key received cannot be redeemed immediately. To be able to use the license key during the revocation period, consent is required in our download portal. As soon as you have given your consent, the license key and thus the activation of your software product can be carried out. Further information can be found in our terms and conditions, as well as before your consent in our download portal.
You are not a consumer in the sense of §13 BGB? We ask you to also perform this activation step in order to be able to use the software directly, as we currently make no distinction system-technically.
