 If you followed all three steps to license Wordfast Pro on your computer, and yet it continues to display DEMO MODE in the title bar, check these things:
-* Go to {{menu|Help}} / {{menu|License Management}} in Wordfast Pro. See the install number. Is it the same as your licence file name? If not, generate a new licence file. When you do so, make sure you use the install number shown in Wordfast Pro on your computer.

When you do so, make sure you use the install number shown in Wordfast Pro on your computer. A licence file name looks like this: N111242-88851359.lic, where the letter "N" is followed by six random digits, then a hyphen, then the remaining 8 digits must correspond to your install number.
 * Make sure the date on your computer (the system date) is good.

 * Mac users: when you unzip a fresh license file in a folder where you keep a previously created license file, MacOS may append a number to the file name of your new license file, so it will be called 12345678(1).lic, rather than just 12345678.lic. When you load the license file in Wordfast Pro 3, make sure you don't load the old one!
-* Check the file size of the licence file. It should be about 650 bytes. If it's 0 bytes, it's dead (most likely, an overzealous security software on your computer or mail server deleted its contents thinking it was dangerous). When this happens, see if the copy of the license file you received by email is good; your can also try generating the licence file from another computer. If nothing helps, [[How to contact the Wordfast team|contact us]] and let us know your install number.

 * When you generate a new license file after you renewed your license, make sure you don't confuse the new license file with the old one you may still keep on your computer. If you save the new license file in the same folder where the old one is located, MacOS might add a “2” at the end of the file name of the new license file; make sure you avoid this by removing the old (expired) license file first or by saving the new one in another folder.
