- Start SongKong
- Select File:Update License
- Copy/paste the three lines from your license email into the license dialog
This is fine but with SongKong 4.10 we moved license details into a new license.properties file. You can now edit the file directly instead. This can be useful if you are running SongKong without using a Gui such as on a remote linux server, or if there is a license issue.
Simply open the existing license.properties file in your User Folder with your favourite text editor and replace the three lines with the new values
licenseEmail=a.nonymous@supermail.net
licenseKey1=30224bd4777210c7fb43352665f5dcdeed029fedded0
licenseKey2=ce302142665f5dcdeed029fedd65fe7eedd957e507be
If no such file exists just create a new license.properties file and add the three lines, then start SongKong and it will use your new license details.
