| Problem | Solution |
|--------|----------|
| license.xml not found / invalid | Make sure the file is exactly named license.xml (not license(1).xml). Check that you downloaded the correct one for your email. |
| “License file does not match this installation” | Your license is for an older major version (e.g., LaunchBox 12.x vs 13.x). Log into your account and download the current version of license.xml. |
| License works, then disappears after update | Re‑download license.xml from your account and place it in the LaunchBox folder again. Major updates sometimes require a refreshed file. |
| “Corrupt or tampered” error | Do not edit license.xml with a text editor. Re‑download a clean copy from the LaunchBox portal. |
| Lost license email | Go to LaunchBox Account → Licenses → click your license → “Download license.xml” | launchbox license.xml
Pro Tip: Print the file? No. Better yet, email it to yourself as an attachment with the subject "LAUNCHBOX LICENSE - DO NOT LOSE."
