Check out this tutorial to learn how to activate Flip4Mac:

Here are some of the most common license activation questions:

• "Activate" button is grayed out

  Problem:
  When trying to activate the Flip4Mac license, the "Activate" button remains grayed out.

  Solution:
  To fix this activation issue you MUST install Flip4Mac v3 to activate. If Flip4Mac software version 2 is still installed the v3 serial number will not activate.

  If you do not have this version installed, please follow the instructions below:

  • Please download Flip4Mac v3
  • Open the installer, double-click Flip4Mac.pkg
  • Click “Continue” through the menus
  • Click “Agree” to the terms of the software license agreement.
  • Select “Enter Serial Number”
  • Copy and paste the serial number provided above, click “Activate”.
  • Enter your password as requested (you may be asked more than once)

  If the activate button continues to be grayed out, please contact support

• -2003 Engine Not Installed

  Problem:
  When trying to activate the license, the program displays "There has been a licensing problem. Engine could not be not installed (-2003)."

  

  Solution:
  To fix this error, please try the following:

  • Go to Macintosh HD > Library > Frameworks and delete the folders that read:
    EWSMac.framework & EWSMac-GC.framework
    Also look under: ~User > Library > Frameworks folder
  • Please visit http://www.esellerate.net/update and download the Engine Updater for
    Mac OS X. Then, run the updater and try the activation again after that.
• -25005 Maximum Activations Error

  Problem:
  When trying to activate the license, the program displays "The maximum number of activations has been reached" appears. How do I fix this?

  

  Explanation:
  The Telestream product licenses are padded with one additional activation for use on a laptop or other secondary computer. If all activations are in use, it will not allow you to activate on an additional computer.

  Solution:
  Licenses can be deactivated by using the Deactivate License button in the Upgrade pane in System Preferences > Flip4Mac.

  Telestream's technical support staff can also reset your activations remotely for your convenience.
