Last updated: 2026-03-13
License Activation
After Purchase
- License key delivered via email immediately after purchase
- Key format: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
- Also visible in your account dashboard at 360hextile.com/account
Activating Your License
During First Run
The first-run wizard (Step 2) prompts for your license key: 1. Paste your license key 2. Click "Activate" 3. Key validated against server (one-time, requires internet) 4. Machine fingerprint registered 5. Confirmation displayed with your license tier
From Settings (After First Run)
- Open Settings → License section
- Enter your license key → Click Activate
- Same validation process as first-run
What Happens on Activation
- Key verified cryptographically (Ed25519 signature)
- Your machine's hardware fingerprint is registered
- License stored locally — works fully offline after activation
- All Standard features unlocked immediately
Activation Limits
- 2 machine activations per Standard license
- Each activation tied to a hardware fingerprint (CPU + storage + network)
- Changing major hardware (motherboard, CPU) may consume a new activation slot
Deactivating / Transferring to Another Machine
- In-app: Settings → License → Deactivate
- This frees one activation slot
- You can now activate on a different machine
- Also manageable via 360hextile.com/account
Offline Use
- License works completely offline after initial activation
- No internet required for rendering, processing, or any features
- Periodic online check (every 24 hours when connected) — 7-day grace period if offline
Troubleshooting
- "Activation limit reached" → Deactivate an unused machine first
- "Invalid license key" → Check for typos, copy directly from email
- "Server unreachable" → Check internet, try again in a few minutes
- "License revoked" → Contact 360hextile@phong.com
