Inserting and Removing Embird Password

Embird Embroidery Software Tutorial

This tutorial explains how to enter the main registration password into Embird so that it stops expiring and turns from an 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 already received an e-mail from us with the text form of the password. The following steps explain what to do with this password.

Note: Another way of inserting passwords into Embird is to use the PASSWORD.KLC file obtained during the back-up process - this is explained in the Inserting Registration Password from PASSWORD.KLC file tutorial.

Inserting Main Registration Password from E-mail

1 - Run your e-mail client application and open the e-mail with the passwords 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 the password. Choose the e-mail without an attachment, containing the text form of the password (Picture No. 1).

1. Open e-mail with text form of password

2 - Highlight the registration password and press the CTRL and C keys simultaneously to copy the selected text (password) into the clipboard.

Note: If you do not know how to copy text into the clipboard, please read the following: Place the mouse at the beginning of the password and click the left mouse button, holding it down while you drag over the password. At the end of the password, release the mouse button. The password should be highlighted. (If you make a mistake, click the mouse button once to unhighlight, then start over.) While it is highlighted, hold down the Ctrl key and hit the letter "c". This copies the password to an invisible clipboard.

3 - Run Embird and select the "Help > Registration" command from the main menu (Picture No. 2).

2. Select "Help > Registration" menu

4 - A dialog box will appear on the screen. Move the mouse pointer to the box for entering the password and click the left mouse button to focus this box (Picture No. 3).
