How do I transfer my license to another user?

Why is my registration not working?

Please make sure of the following:

• All characters in the license key, including the "==" at the end have been copied and inserted correctly.
• The email address field is case sensitive so if registering on a second computer it must be an exact match to the email address used on the first computer.

On rare occasions, it may be necessary for MadCap to resend your license key in a plain text attachment. Please contact MadCap customer service by calling 888-623-2271 or email CustomerService@MadCapSoftware.com to arrange for your license key to be resent.
