Licensing and Demo Mode
Demo Mode
When ColorThink 4 is run without a license (username & serial number), it runs for an unlimited time in demonstration mode.
When in demo mode you can open all the tools and navigate around anywhere you like. If you try to open any files it will automatically load one of the demonstration profiles, images and/or color lists that are built into the application package.
Licensing and AuthCodes
Licenses can be purchased directly from CHROMiX or from one of our resellers.
Licenses are typically delivered initially as an “AuthCode”, which is a type of coupon, enabling you to register your license and obtain a serial number for your computer platform. Don’t enter the AuthCode into ColorThink’s license dialog as it will have no effect. Once an AuthCode is registered it is no longer needed and cannot be used again.
AuthCodes for ColorThink 4 begin with: “CT4proAuth-…”
If you have an AuthCode and need to register for a serial number follow this link:
https://www.chromix.com/colorthink/#register
The username / serial number combination you receive from registration unlocks ColorThink’s functions depending on the level of license you obtained.
Serial numbers for ColorThink 4 begin with “CT4pro…” or “CT4ph..” for the Pro and Photo-level licenses. They might also have the letters “M” and/or “P” immediately following the “pro” or “ph”. These indicate that the license also unlocks the MeasurePack and PrePressPack license modules as well.
ColorThink 4 serial numbers also have a trailing “M” or “W” indicating the license is for Macintosh or Windows. Serial numbers can only be used on the platform for which they were created. Moving to another platform will require a cross-grade license or, if you have the need to run on both platforms, cross-platform licenses are available.
Determining Your License Level
In ColorThink 4, select “ColorThink Licensing…” from the ColorThink 4 application menu (on Mac) or the Window menu (on Windows)
Upgrading Licenses
At CHROMiX we believe in protecting your investment so if you change your mind and want access to more functions in ColorThink 4, there are multiple paths to upgrade your existing license.
The Photo-level license can be upgraded with the MeasurePack upgrade module as well as it can be upgraded to the Pro-level license. The PrePressPack license is only available to the Pro-level license, so upgrading to Pro first (or at the same time), is necessary.
The Pro-level license can be upgraded with both the MeasurePack and PrePressPack modules
To see your upgrade choices, go to the ColorThink 4 store page and click on Upgrade Choices. Enter your username and serial number information and you’ll see the upgrades available for your license level.
