After editing my license file (AXIOM.LIC) with a text editor, I get an Information box that tells me the license won’t work. What happened?
If the error message you’re getting reads like this, “Your [Product Name] license is corrupt. It has been modified from its original version, so it will not work.” Then it means that there is a misspelling (typo) in your license file. It is also generated if the file has been saved in the wrong format. Sometimes, the file is inadvertently saved as a Word document or some other file format. This makes it unreadable to Axiom programs. The AXIOM.LIC file must be in ASCII format. This is as simple to solve as just opening a session of Notepad, pasting the license(s) and then saving the text file as "axiom.lic" back to the Axiom base directory.
