TIP: If you have access to your product code, you can also use the ‘Activate License Keys’ button to activate your license without signing in.

Step 3: Activate your Toon Boom Desktop Subscription

NOTE: Activation and renewal of a subscription license requires a direct connection to the internet. Make sure that you are not connected to a proxy, and that your firewall or network is not blocking access to the internet. 

Q&A 

Question: 

Why do I get an error message when signing in with my Toon Boom ID and password?

Answer:

Please see the FAQ: License Errors article to troubleshoot your issue. 

Question:

Why doesn’t my product display an “Activate” button after I sign in with my Toon Boom ID?

Answer: 

This means that the product has been activated on another device, and that the license is not portable. If you have a portable license that you want to transfer, please see How can I transfer a v2 license from one system to another?.
