Activating Typefitter manually

If you are unable to use automatic activation (for example, your network has a firewall or proxy that doesn’t allow the plug-in to communicate with Typefi’s activation servers), you can manually activate Typefitter using a web browser on either your own computer or a different computer.

To manually activate Typefitter:

NOTE This procedure is specific to Typefitter 4.2 and later. If you have a legacy version of Typefitter (4.1 and earlier) and you need to manually activate Typefitter, follow the instructions in this article.

1. From InDesign's Help menu, select Activate Typefi Plug-in → Activate Typefitter.
2. In the Typefitter license dialogue, enter the license ID and password from your Typefitter email receipt (it will have been sent from mailer@fastspring.com).
   
3. Click Activate.
   Typefitter will detect that your computer cannot reach the Typefi activation servers. You will see a new dialogue to guide you through the manual activation process.
   
4. From the Typefitter License dialogue, copy the License request to the clipboard.
5. Open a web browser and go to https://www.typefi.com/activate and click Manual Activation.
   Alternatively, go to the license portal directly.
6. Paste the License request you copied from Step 4 into the text box under Copy and Paste Request and click the Submit button, located below the text box. 
   
   The license portal will generate a response.
   
7. Copy the response to the clipboard.
   Alternatively, click Download to save the response to an XML file.
8. Return to InDesign and paste the response into the License response field in the Typefitter License dialogue.
   
   
9. Click activate.
