Inserting Registration Password - Auto-Copy to Clipboard

Embird Embroidery Software Tutorial

This tutorial explains how to enter the registration password into Embird using the special "Auto-Copy to Clipboard" command from the Embird main menu.

Normally, you can insert the password from an e-mail into Embird using standard Windows Clipboard functions ("Ctrl+C" to copy selected text from the email to the Clipboard and "Ctrl+V" to paste the text from the Clipboard into the "Embird > Help > Registration" dialog box - see more details in the Inserting and Removing Embird Password tutorial).

Another way of inserting passwords into Embird is to use the PASSWORD.KLC file attached to the e-mail which you receive from us after purchasing an Embird registration - this is explained in the Inserting Registration Password from PASSWORD.KLC file tutorial. 

However, if you are not familiar with using the Clipboard function or the PASSWORD.KLC file, try using the "Auto-Copy to Clipboard" command. Assuming you have paid for an Embird registration and received an email with the registration password from us, please follow these steps:

1 - Run Embird; it will start in "Manager" mode.

2 - Check whether your copy of Embird is "Unregistered" by reading the text in the bar at the top of the Embird Manager window (Picture No. 1).

3 - In case you have an unregistered copy, select the "Help > Auto-Copy To Clipboard" command from the main menu (Picture No. 1).

1. Unregistered copy, Select "Help > Auto-Copy To Clipboard"

4 - Embird will display a dialog box with instructions (Picture No. 2).

5 - Run your e-mail client software and open the e-mail with the passwords which you have received from us after paying for the Embird registration at https://www.embird.net/sw/embird/register.htm. Typically, you would receive two e-mails containing different forms of the password. Choose the e-mail without an attachment, containing the text form of the password (Picture No. 3).

3. Embird password e-mail

6 - In this e-mail, double-click the text with the password, i.e., the body of the e-mail (Picture No. 3). Embird will display a message informing you about the recognition of passwords (Picture No. 4). In case you do not obtain this message, please repeat this step - double-click again on the e-mail with the password - until the message appears.

4. Password recognition

7 - Once the password is recognized and inserted into Embird, you will see in the bar at the top of the Embird Manager window that Embird is registered (Picture No. 5). You can also check which plug-ins are registered by choosing the "Help > Installed Plug-ins" command from the main menu.

5. Embird switched to registered mode

8 - Please back up your passwords using the "Help > Passwords" command from the main menu. See more details in the Passwords Back-up tutorial.
