I really like EM Client and have bought a Lifetime license. I use EM Client on two computers, and - on a single computer - with two Windows accounts. On every occasion I start EM CLient I need to fill in the license key/code. Also, the other Window user account needs to fill in this license key/code. So I wonder - is this a regular thing with the Lifetime license?
In addition, though I believe it has nothing to do with this EM Client License issue - I use VPN-S on all my devices.
Please help me to fix this filling in of the License key/code again and again.
The license is for one computer only. This is why it keeps prompting you when you switch between them. The second account on the same computer should be fine.
If I have to buy multiple licenses to have use my one email address on my laptop, home computer, and surface pro, that eliminates emClient as an option. sad
“The license is for one computer only. This is why it keeps prompting you when you switch between them.”
which is what I’m seeing, so what you are saying isn’t the case. :-( This appears to be case regardless if free/paid version.
I thought of that, but unfortunately not. (Unless I want to “trick the system” with burner email addresses, etc.) You can’t generate another key with your same/real email.
So to put it in simple terms, the license is user specific (registered to a user / email address), but the license mechanisms are computer specific.
Have you done this or aware of how to specifically do this?
Still, it is a pity that EM Client Lifelong License does not facilitate multiple computers, tablets and the like. It would really be nice if this problem gets solved.
You do not need to “trick the system”. The free license is email specific, not user specific, so you can legally get one free license per email address.
But Mark’s point is valid, and it is increasingly uncommon to find uses with only a single device on which they want to manage their email. Free users can register for as many licenses as they want without incurring any additional cost, but it would be nice if paid users were allowed at least an additional install for free.
I completely agree with this. However, I do note that there is a pretty steep discount on multiple licenses. While a single license is $49.95, 3 is only $79.95 (
The registration email address has nothing to do with the email address used for sending/receiving emails. You can register 3 separate emails and use the same email address within eM Client.
