      How to Activate KeyShot

      This article details how to activate your KeyShot with the serial key

      Issue

      KeyShot product keys or serial codes that start with the letters H, P, E, N or Z, correspond to KeyShot HD, KeyShot Pro, KeyShot Educational, KeyShot Not-For-Resale, and KeyShot for Zbrush versions, respectively. All of these codes must be activated with the "stand-alone" instructions. Only KeyShot product keys or serial codes that start with the letter F correspond to KeyShot Floating and KeyShot Enterprise. F codes can be activated with the "floating" instructions.


      The instructions below show you how to activate your product key. For instructions on how to activate KeyShot with your upgrade product key, click here.
