License key
Within a few minutes of making your wallaby.js license purchase, you should receive an email with the license key (or license keys if you are purchasing multiple Company Seat licenses).
For example, for a personal license the email content should look like:
Thank you for your order. Your wallaby.js license key:
abc
Regards,
Wallaby.js team
The license key in this case is abc.
For two company seat licenses the email content should look like:
Thank you for your order. Your wallaby.js license keys:
Key #xxxxx:
abc
Key #yyyyy:
def
Regards,
Wallaby.js team
The first license key in this case is abc and the second one is def.
Please note that real license keys are much longer.

If your new license key doesn’t work
Double check that you are pasting the full key. Sometimes only a part of the key is selected/copied from the order fulfilment email and it’s the most common reason why the key is rejected. If someone else from your company had sent you the key that doesn’t work, please ask them to double check that they have sent you the full key from the order fulfilment email. If your purchased license key is not ‘All Editors’ license key, please also make sure that you have purchased the key for the right editor/IDE.
If after following the instructions above the key still doesn't work for you, please contact us and send the key and the version of the editor/IDE that you are trying to use the key with.
