Inserting Registration Password from PASSWORD.KLC file

Embird Embroidery Software Tutorial

This tutorial explains how to enter the main registration password into Embird so that it stops expiring and turns from the evaluation (demo) version into the full version. It also explains how to enter the registration numbers for plug-ins (Alphabets, Font Engine, Cross Stitch, Digitizing Tools, Sfumato Stitch, Iconizer). It is assumed that you have a backup copy of the PASSWORD.KLC file.

Note: Another way of password insertion is using the text form of the password and the standard Windows Clipboard functions ("Ctrl+C" to copy selected text from an email to the Clipboard and "Ctrl+V" to paste the text from the Clipboard into the "Embird > Help > Registration" dialog box). This method is explained in the Inserting and Removing Embird Password tutorial.

E-mail with Password

Note: In the case of Embird 2022, the PASSWORD.KLC file is no longer sent via e-mail. Follow the steps shown in the tutorial Quick Registration with PIN in Embird 2022, 2021 and 2020

1 - Close Embird if you are running it.

2 - Run your e-mail client application and open the e-mail with the passwords that you received from us after paying for Embird registration at https://www.embird.net/sw/embird/register.htm. Typically, you will receive two e-mails containing different forms of password. Choose the e-mail with the attachment containing PASSWORD.KLC.

3 - Click on the attachment clip to open the attachment (Picture no. 1).

7 - In case the passwords are accepted, the evaluation version of Embird will turn into the full version, and the "Unregistered" caption in the bar at the top of the Embird Manager window will disappear. Check the bar at the top of the Embird Manager window - your name should be displayed there in the registered Embird (Picture No. 5). You can also check the list of registered plug-ins by selecting the "Help > Installed Plug-ins" command from the main menu.
