QUESTION

I need to locate the Product Key for my software. Where can I find this information?  


ANSWER

The location of your Product Key will vary based upon how you purchased the software. If you purchased the software directly from Chief Architect, Inc., then your Product Key can be found by accessing the Digital Locker link within your online account. However, if you purchased the software from Amazon.com, Inc., then your Product Key can be found in the Digital games and software section on their website, or on a paper insert if you purchased a physical copy.


Note: If the Product Key is already active on another computer, you can manage it within the Digital Locker. Please see the "Using Home Designer on Multiple Computers" resource in the Related Articles section below to learn more.
