That license key doesn't appear to be valid

[urbanrunic]

Hello! I have been using sublime text for about 4 years now and have had it on two computers, as I work from a macbook pro and an iMac. Well I just moved from the Macbook Pro to an Air and when I enter my key it tells me this key doesn’t appear to be valid. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Send an email to sales@sublimetext.com with the license key that you’re using, and they’ll look into it.

Thanks! I got in touch with sales and found out the issue. My copy and paste was pasting this in one line. I had to reformat the key.

what format was it in ? I’m getting the same problem. Thanks.

There’s an example posted in the link below. What it shows there is what you should be pasting into the license dialog.

Auto link to latest build?

You can save a textual version of your license key as ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Local/License.sublime_license to enter the license information to do something like this. The file should have the format: ----- BEGIN LICENSE ----- Your Name Single User License 0000-0000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 0000000…

this worked for me, after searching elsewhere:
