Activating and Updating your ProSelect License. Do I need a Key?

ProSelect uses internal registration keys that contain license information.  Although registration keys exist, they are not required to activate any non-obsolete version of ProSelect.  Activation of ProSelect takes place by entering your ProStudioSoftware.com account email address and password in the software.

You have access to all your registration keys for any non-obsolete versions of ProSelect.  They can be found in your ProStudioSoftware.com account My Account > My Products > "View all my registration and unlock keys"

The ProSelect registration keys contain information for eligible versions, the number of users, Pro vs Basic, and your Business Name.  Unlock keys are for additional products like Room and Template Collections.

If you wish to download save your keys you must be logged into your account.  Simply click the "Send these to ...." button to optionally have them emailed to you (this will be to your account email address).

Keep in mind that registration keys may be temporary.  If you are leasing ProSelect, your key is updated every month. There is no reason to save that key.  If you are on a payment plan from an upgrade or PLUS extension, the keys shown are temporary until the payment plan is fulfilled.
