### Issue

I am unable to activate my installation of WorkflowGen.

### Solution

To activate the product you must:

1. Copy the license file (`*.lic`) to the `\wfgen\bin` folder.

2. When trying to launch WorkflowGen, the application should prompt you for a valid license key. Enter the serial key that matches the `*.lic` file sent to you.

### Notes

- If you have a mismatch with the `.lic` and the key, the activation will not work.

- If you have multiple `.lic` files in the `\wfgen\bin` folder, the activation will not work either, due to the conflict. Remove the inactive `.lic` files.
