Notes

Users who have downloaded a copy of ChemBioDraw Ultra will need to reactivate/renew the license, rather than reinstall the software. Instructions for doing so depend on whether you have a Windows or Macintosh copy.

If you are using ChemBioDraw Ultra version 10 on a Windows computer, you need to reactivate with your existing serial number. Reactivating will extend your current software license until March 8, 2009.

  1. To reactivate, launch the ChemBioDraw application and click 'Activate' on the 'Help' menu then put in your serial number (it shows up automatically if you originally activated on the same machine).
  2. Click on 'Activate over the Internet' to complete the activation. If that fails (because you don't have an Internet connection) then you can activate by phone, fax, or email to receive an activation code.
  3. The software will display a warning message one month before the previous expiration date, and you can close that window then click 'Activate' on the 'Help' menu.
  4. If your software has already expired, you will be immediately prompted to activate when you launch ChemDraw.

If you are using ChemBioDraw Ultra version 10 on a Mac, you need to get a new serial number and registration code.

  1. To get your new codes, look for the link about renewed serial numbers on the following page: http://scistore.cambridgesoft.com/sitelicense.cfm?sid=724.
  2. You will be emailed a new serial number and registration code which will be valid until March 8, 2009. The Mac software and serial number are included on the same download page and same email message as PC users, but are marked as Mac.
