How many computers can I install Flare, Mimic, Analyzer, MadCap Lingo on?

You may install MadCap products on two computers. You must register MadCap products on both machines using the same email address. You may not run MadCap products using the same license key on two machines simultaneously.

How do I transfer my license to another user?

Please contact MadCap Software customer service by calling 888-623-2271 or email CustomerService@MadCapSoftware.com to arrange for your license key to be transferred 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.
