I lost my registration code. How do I get it?

If you lost your Registration Code, you have a few options:
Find Your Existing Code
Generate a New Code

Find Your Existing Code

You can copy/paste your existing code from Paratext:

  1. Paratext 9: Go to the Paratext menu > Help > Registration Information.
    1. Paratext 8: Go to Tools > Registration Information.
  2. Your Registration Code should look similar to this: W9GYM2-CUK4ET-7RPVGV-JWEPG6-WBTE8P
  3. You could also search for an email with your Registration Code:
    1. From: admin@paratext.org
    2. Subject: “Your registration code for Paratext”

Generate a New Code

If your computer dies, is stolen, or you cannot find your code, you can generate a new code.

Important Note: This will invalidate your current Registration Code and you will no longer be able to do Send/Receive. You will need to enter your new code for Send/Receive to work again.

To generate a new code:

  1. Log in to registry.paratext.org
  2. Click on your name in the top right corner (1).
    1. Click Registration (2):Click your name > Registration
  3. Click the Generate button:Click Generate
  4. Click copy to copy the new code:Click Copy
    1. The new code will also be sent to you by email.
  5. Copy/Paste the new code into Paratext:
    1. Paratext 9: Go to the Paratext menu > Help > Registration Information.
    2. Paratext 8: Go to Tools > Registration Information.

The new code will be linked to the same user and projects, so nothing needs to change at the project level. Just enter your new code in the Registration Information dialog, and you can resume working.
