New page

A license is a contractual agreement between Wordfast LLC and the user to use the WFS software within certain limitations. A license is materialized as a code issued by the licensing party—usually Wordfast LLC—in response to a given ''Install'' number. The ''Install'' number of a WFS installation is found in the ''Setup > General'' pane. That number, as well as WFS’ version number, have to be provided to the licensing party (a sales agent at Wordfast LLC in most cases), who will in return provide a license number.

Note that the ''Install'' number is valid for a particular hard disk. If the hard disk is formatted (which can happen if Windows is re-installed), or if the hard disk is changed, the ''Install'' number changes and a new license number must be obtained at no cost within the duration of the license agreement.
