103 - Too many activations

The standard license agreement allows activation on up to two computers. If you are moving to a new computer, you need to deactivate the license on the one no longer in use. If you are not able to deactivate the license contact support.  Include your license number and reason the license could not be deactivated. 

105 - License already activated on this computer

This error is usually caused by a cloned hard drive on a second Apple computer, but there can be other causes. Contact support and let them know you have a 105 error. They will reset your code and give you instructions so the license will activate correctly.

-21, -23 - Obsolete license system error

If you receive an error code such as -21, -23, or any other negative number, your plug-in is using an obsolete activation system.

To update the activation system, first uninstall the plug-in from your Mac or Windows computer.
