Activate Presswork

After purchase you’ll get an email from Paddle with your license key. Keep it handy — you’ll paste it in Presswork to unlock Pro.

Activation steps

  1. Open Presswork → Help → Activate License.
  2. Paste your license key exactly as received (no spaces before/after). Example: PW-ABCD-1234-... .
  3. Click Activate. You’re done — no online account required. Activation is tied to your license and works offline.
  4. You can activate on up to 2 personal devices. Need to move a device? Deactivate from the same menu, then re-activate on the new one.

Good to know

  • Presswork runs 100% locally. No documents ever leave your computer.
  • Minor updates (all 1.x) are free with your one-time license.
  • Lost the email? Use the same purchase email to request a re-send from support.

Troubleshooting

  • “Invalid license”: check for extra spaces or wrong characters (O vs 0).
  • Changed computer: deactivate on the old one first. If it’s unavailable, contact support and we’ll reset the seats.
  • Firewall/Proxy: activation works offline, but time must be correct on the machine.
