You have purchased a license of Alchemy CATALYST Developer/Pro, Localizer or Translator/Pro and now wish to activate your installation of the product.
This process generates a license file on your computer using a certificate file issued by Alchemy Software.
For CATALYST 2019 and older versions, go to this page.
Activate Alchemy CATALYST
Starting CATALYST, in the Alchemy Catalyst Evaluation dialog click on Activate Purchased License
-OR-
In the HOME ribbon, click on Activate to launch the Activation Expert:
There are two steps in the Alchemy CATALYST activation process:
Request a product certificate for your CATALYST installation
- Fill in the details: The Catalyst Edition you have purchased, your Email address and your Company name.
- Then Click on Create Cert. Request.
The Certificate Request field will be populated with the computer's Installation ID details ready to send to info@alchemysoftware.com
- Click on Send to Email client to automatically create an email with the Certificate request
-or-
Copy to Clipboard the Certificate request to manually copy and paste the text into an email message
An installation ID is the hardware information that uniquely identifies your host computer. The installation ID information is used by Alchemy Software to create your unique Product Certificate. This certificate will be mailed to you electronically and is used to activate your Alchemy CATALYST license in step 2.
Activate your license using your Product Certificate
Once you have received an email with your Product Certificate attached, save it to your computer. Your desktop is the best place to save to. The file will be deleted as part of the activation of your license.
Launch the Activation expert and Click on Activate by email > Activate Certificate file...
You will be prompted to select a .cert file. Navigate to your Product Certificate file you saved on disk and click Open.
Your license file has been created and your installation is Activated.
You can review the Activation Status by pressing the button.
Congratulations, your activation is complete!
During the activation of your installation of Alchemy CATALYST the *.cert file is automatically deleted by the activation wizard as it can only be used for one product activation and becomes redundant.
