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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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 in ProgramData\Real Games\Factory IO. This will allow all Windows accounts to use this share code.
