I have recently had to do a clean full re-install. Now I get the message that I got a year ago when I first got Lightwave:

"Your temporary license has 14 days remaining. Contact Newtek to get a permanent license key."

I already have my permanent license key. I wrote it in my manuel after Newtek gave it to me the first time I installed. My problem is that I do not remember what I do with it or how to tell Lightwave what it is.

Can anybody tell me?

Thanks

Go to your lightwave directory folder, open up the programs folder, and your license key file will be in there. Simply open it up with notepad, change the number in there to your permanent license key, save the file and close.

Of course, that's if you're using a PC. Not sure if it's the same on Mac.

That was an easy one.
Guess I'll write that down in case I am without these forums some day!
