How to apply license file

Manually

QueueExplorer 5 can load license directly from program itself, and don't have to be manually copied like before.

Load it from "Help/Load license..." menu.
Load it from one of QueueExplorer's dialogs which offer "Load license" button.

Automated license deployment

Copy the license file to a specific folder:

%ProgramData%\Cogin\QueueExplorerUniversal\

which is in most cases:

c:\ProgramData\Cogin\QueueExplorerUniversal\

While license file name can be anything when loaded from within QueueExplorer, when it's put directly to this folder it has to be QueueExplorer.license

QueueExplorer 3.x and below

In order to activate your copy you should save license file (QueueExplorer.license) to folder where QueueExplorer is installed. By default it's installed here:

64-bit Windows:
c:\Program Files (x86)\QueueExplorer\
c:\Program Files (x86)\QueueExplorer Professional\

32-bit Windows:
c:\Program Files\QueueExplorer\
c:\Program Files\QueueExplorer Professional\

If everything is ok, once you start QueueExplorer and click Help/About you should see your registration name there.

Moving license

To move license to different machine:

Locate QueueExplorer.license file - either from original delivery email, or from QueueExplorer's folder (v3.x and older), or from %ProgramData%\Cogin\QueueExplorerUniversal\
Uninstall QueueExplorer on older machine.
Install QueueExplorer on new machine and apply license file there.
