We are attempting to offer quality products at a low price, on a ‘try before you buy’ basis. |
| Q: I try to enter my serial number but I get an "Invalid" error. |
The serial number works in combination with the name and the computer number. So the serial we have sent you will only work with your name or on your computer. Please make sure that you enter the serial number exactly as it was given to you in the email along with the name. You may want to copy and paste the serial number and make sure there are no spaces or anything else around the serial number or your name. If this still doesn't work, try to delete iPatch preferences ( Home/Library/Preferences/org.iPatch.iPatch3.plist ). Then try to reenter your serial. |
| Q: I have more than one mac. Should I buy one license for each mac? |
No. You buy an iPatch license for a product. The serial number works in combination with the name and the computer number. If you have 2 macs or more, just mail me at registration@ipatch.org your name and second computer number and I will send you the serial for your second mac for free. |
