Migrating from old cloud license files
Discuss this topic at Factory I/O Community Forum
Starting at Factory I/O v2.4.0 cloud license files are deprecated. We have migrated your cloud licenses to the new platform and they are ready for you to use. This is what you need to do:
- Sign in at factoryio.com
- Click on the Avatar icon and next on My account
- Click on the Licenses tab.
- Select the serial key you want to use and take note of the Share Code.
- Update your copy of Factory I/O to v2.4.x on all client computers.
You have two ways of using a share code:
- Entering it in Factory I/O (File > Options > Licensing > Activate). The share code will be saved in your Windows account and used every time you start Factory I/O. Other Windows accounts won’t have access to this share code.
- Configure Factory I/O to use a Share Code at startup by including
license.share_code = "XXX-XXX-XXX"
in a file named auto.cfg and placing this file inProgramData\Real Games\Factory IO
. This will allow all Windows accounts to use this share code.
