Activating Contract Writer

How to enter your license code — including on a new computer

Written by Tina Svalina

Step 0: Install the program
(Skip this if Contract Writer is already on the computer you're using)

Download and install Construction Contract Writer for Windows. This is the full program, but printing stays locked until you enter your license code.

Step 1: Find your code

Sign in, then open your Activation Codes page. Your code looks like this:

Step 2: Enter your code

⚠️ Activating on a new computer? Multiple license codes?

Follow steps 1-5 below for your original license code first (from your first purchase). Then follow steps again to and apply your latest license code.

  1. Copy the whole code, dashes included (Ctrl+C).

  2. Open Construction Contract Writer.

  3. Go to Help → Activate Software.

  4. Paste the code (Ctrl+V) if it doesn't appear on its own.

  5. Click Activate, then Update Now.

If your activation code isn't accepted

  • Extra space. Copying from email can add an extra space at the end. Delete any spaces after the last character.

  • Missing dashes. The code won't work without them.

  • No internet. Activation needs a connection.

  • Already activated elsewhere. Each license covers one user/computer.

Printing is still blocked, or the wrong state comes up

Contract Writer is state-specific, because contract law differs by state. The construction site address on your contract has to be in the state your license covers. To write contracts in another state, buy an additional state license.
