Obtaining your licence key

Whether you used share*it! or PayPal to purchase your single-user licence, as part of the transaction you will have been asked to supply your Excel user name. This is so that we can email you the correct licence key (which is linked to your user name).

If you are using Excel 2007, your Excel user name is also your Microsoft Office user name. You can find this as follows:

  • Click the Microsoft Office Button and then click Excel Options.
  • Click the Popular category.
  • Your user name is shown under “Personalize your copy of Microsoft Office”.

If you are using an earlier version of Microsoft Excel, you can find your Excel user name by clicking Tools, Options, then the General tab.

If you have purchased a site licence, we will supply you with a single licence key which is independent of the user names of individual users.

Installing your licence

To set up your fully licensed copy of Rainbow, you will first need to have a free trial copy installed. Please see our Download page for details of how to download and install your free trial copy.

As explained above, you will also need your licence key. If you have not yet received this, please contact us at the email address below.

You can now install your licence very simply, by clicking About Rainbow (under the User Guide menu on the Rainbow tab in version 6.0, or on the Rainbow drop-down menu in version 5.1) and entering your licence key exactly as supplied to you. This will convert your copy of Rainbow from a free trial copy to a fully licensed copy.

We hope you enjoy using Rainbow. Please don’t hesitate to contact us at mike@themodelanswer.com if you have any comments or suggestions about the product, or if you need a formal invoice from us.
