What is a license key
Your license key is a 16-, 25-, or 32-character code you receive after purchasing an ATLAS.ti license. This code is used to activate your license, so please keep it in a safe place in case you need it later. In some places it may also be referred to as a serial number—both terms refer to the same activation code.
Where to find your license key
After purchasing ATLAS.ti:
- Your license key is shown on the purchase confirmation page.
- You will also receive an order confirmation email from Cleverbridge (no-reply@cleverbridge.com) which contains your License Key and activation instructions.
- If you did not receive the confirmation email, please contact Cleverbridge via their Support Center or email: cs@cleverbridge.com
Automatic license activation
In some cases, your license may be activated automatically.
If you already have an ATLAS.ti account and were logged in when purchasing from the ATLAS.ti website or license portal, the web shop may automatically add the license to your account. In this case, the license will already appear in the license portal, and no manual activation is required.
Common issues or mistakes

- After purchase, Cleverbridge sends an order confirmation email from no-reply@cleverbridge.com. If you cannot find the email:
- Check your spam or junk folder
