How to use Gridit™ Adobe Illustrator extensions on another system

‍

If you need to use your Gridit™ extensions on a new machine, you’ll need to deactivate your current license first.

This also applies to Logo Grid Generator™ Lite

‍

This step is also required if you’re seeing the error message:

“Error 5 – Activation Failure.”

‍

License Key Guidelines

Each user is allowed up to 2 active license key installations. This means you can use Gridit™ on two different machines at the same time.

If you’re trying to activate the tool on a third system, you’ll need to deactivate one of your previous activations before proceeding.

‍

‍

Error 5 – Activation Failure

Seeing this error usually means you’ve reached your activation limit. To resolve it:

  • Open the tool on one of your current machines
  • Click the 3 menu lines in the top right of the extension
  • Go to “Deactivate License”
  • Then try activating it on your new machine

‍

See the instructions below:

Deactivation Instructions
