Same for me, the registration file link does not work.

Same for me. I've tried from the e-mail I received and it says that no server exists. Also, I've tried to right click and control click (same thing) and that does not work either. PLEASE HELP!!!

Everyone,

Make sure you read all the posts because you'll see that the solution is to go to www.macheist.com/order and you'll get it there.

I don't get how to save into the folder.  The text file won't drag and drop, you can't cut and paste into the folder or the folder in applications (or do you not open the text file somehow?  )

The registrationfile.txt link in my receipt does not work.

Contents of my RegistrationFile.txt:

<status>-103</status>
<message>Cannot create new customer</message>

That's when I access the working link via my receipt page. Understandably Kinemac doesn't seem to accept it. Any help?

Clicked on Download RegistrationFile.txt and got a bad URL. Looks like the URL forgot the Domain and just has the folder and order number attached. Please let me know when you find a solution.

MacHeist Rocks!

I get the same result. It looks like a problem with names containing apostrophes (my last name's O'Dea).

I find the problem kernel panic of registered copy of kinemac..
If unplug the internet connection to start the registered copy of kinemac,  it can work fine.
or deauthorize computer every time to quit....

I think the problem is checking registration  through internet cause quit unexpectedly ....
I hope fix it soon....

I wrote to Kinemac support... same problems...

There is NO signature, do you see a signature?

Hey,no link for my serial#,unregistered user?

Solution, if you got a proper RegistrationFile.txt but Kinamac is not working after activating:

as I posted before (if anybody reads all the post in this thread at all)

the problem with kinemac might be ApplicationEnhancers! for Mac OS X 10.5.5 and later. 
They have to be deleted, otherwise Kinemac will not work at all.

or check your system if there are installed, if directory is there, they might be installed
~/Library/Application Enhancers/

cute machines, hate me...

How do I get the RegistrationFile.txt?  The link doesn't work!

I had saved my MacHeist web page receipt as a PDF, with live links in it. Although the email link doesn't work, the PDF link does.

Thanks dude!!!!

works fine here! download the text file in the macheist/order web page, and put the file in the kinemac folder in app folders!

double ditto

Try right (control + click) on the file and "Download Link File" to your downloads folder.  That worked for me, thanks now I can go to bed.

Registration Link still not working

i wasnt logged in while i bought the bundle.. and the wownload of the registration link dont work. how can i use my app now ?

Odd. When I go to MacHeist.com/order, not only does the Macheist III bundle not show up on the left, but when I enter my email address, I get an error - noting that purchases with that email cannot be found. I double checked it with the license email they sent.

At any rate, the MacHeist bundle rocks... and I trust that they'll figure this one out.

Whenever I access the order page, I get a link to the /order/id// page where there's nothing.

Have Macheist lost my ID?
Please help.

I got the RegistrationFile file from the receipt page no problem but Kinemac wont start with it in the folder, just ends up "Not Responding" and then crashes!!

My registration file doesn't work to activate this program even though it downloads correctly.

I don't have application enhancers, never have never will.

So what is it?  Maybe my geolocation? well anyway, I guess I won't be burning up the airwaves with my latest real time animation of a quicktime video playing in real time on a virtual film roll.

The link in the mail didn't work for me either…

No link in my receipt.

Tried this and relaunched Kinematic. When I click "About Kinemac" it still says unregistered copy... What's wrong?

EDIT: Just discovered what's wrong. You really need to call it RegistrationFile.txt. Then it works! When I downloaded the file it got another name with a lot of numbers as name.

One weird issue I've had with Kinemac (which is otherwise a great program) is the tendency to launch in unregistered mode, even if you have a valid RegistrationFile.txt file in the same folder.  It seems to happen to me if I've assigned Kenemac to a Space in Spaces, but double-click a Kinemac document in a different space.  So I've gotten in the habit of only opening Kinemac files from within Kinemac.

This registration system is perhaps the one blemish to what again is a great program (and value at this price).  I understand the need to prevent piracy, but it seems that Kinemac's registration system isn't the most robust.  But at least it's not as onerous as Adobe's "activation" policy for Creative Suite, which is ridiculous, in my opinion.

I'm thankful for the bundle and am glad to help these charities, though I purchased the MacHeist3 Bundle for Kinemac only, and have no interest in any of the other apps.

I tried each of the methods described by others here, and still cannot get it to work. I did have an app enhancer and deleted the file to try it as recommended, with no difference in results.

When I right/control click (from the web-receipt page) to save the registration txt file, it's called, "1C1426821P856735R.txt"

If you left (standard) click, it will automatically be saved in the download folder and it is called, "RegistrationFile.txt".

I've tried adding it to the folder several times with each of the two different file names, separately and together, and still no luck.

I am a relatively advanced Mac user and can't quite figure this one out, even though there are others that seem to be successful.

I see that various forum members are replying to each other, which is very nice, though I'm wondering if there's a moderator watching this forum that can point us in the proper direction.

Thank you.

I have this exact problem as well. Very disappointing!

Registrationfile.txt for Kinemac is not valid, there is no link! Can anyone help?

Nope, another failed license here.  Would really like the license for this chunk of software.  Although I enjoy Goo, this is something I can actually use for my job...

registrationfile.txt  download link does not work

This didn't work for me but i got the Registration.txt file by entering my e-mail address on the order page. MacHeist sent me a link, then i found the link for the registration file on that page.

Sharing the same problem of not being able to get the registration to take. Have tried the many suggestions given.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi
Not possible to download when a get save as I get the following message.
Safari can't save the file "(null) because (null ) can't be found.
Thank's for helping

can't download the registrationfile.txt per the email.
when you click the link in hotmail or mail
you get this
Safari can’t open the page “http:/order/file/52/” because it can’t find the server “”.
or if it downloads it the same file as the email you sent

Alleluia I got it! Spent the whole morning at it trying all of the above to no avail.  What finally worked for me was: Save the Registration file to your documents folder, then open it beside the open Kinemac folder and simply drag the registration file over to the Kinemac folder and for the first time watch it take! Yippee!

Alleluia got it! Spent the whole morning at this, tried all of the above to no avail. What worked for me was: Download the Registration.txt file to the Documents file -> open it alongside the Kinemac folder and simply drag the Registration file over to the Kinemac folder and watch it take for the first time! Open up Kinemac and there it is registered!

Can you help please.  I have followed instructions and downloaded and placed the Registrationfile.txt in the same folder as Kinemac.

But the "About" screen still shows unregistered copy.

Please assist.

Did you see the registration file go into the folder Kinemac?  If you did and then re-started Kinemac you should be able to see your details in the 'About' screen.

Yes, I saw it go into the Kinemac folder. I then restarted Kinemac but still have the unregistered copy and the exported file has the watermark.  So my work is useless.  this is very frustrating.  I bought the bundle ONLY for the Kinemac application.

I tried to send you the link to the Kinemac site where under Support -> FAQ -> you will find others are having the same problem as yourself so you might find the answer there.  For some reason this site would not let me add the link.

It is really weird that it has taken so many different ways for so many people to be able to register this product.  The only hope is that everyone who has success will share their details here in the hope that one of them will be of help to somebody else out there.  I presume you have re-started your Mac?

the link doesn't work...even with thoses instructions.
can you help me? I tried everything, it doesn't work for me.

FAQ

Q: I have put the RegistrationFile.txt within the folder containing the Kinemac application. Anyway when I launch Kinemac, I still get a white cross on the Stage window, as Kinemac still runs as unregistered. What did I miss?

A: Please verify one by one these points until you get Kinemac work as registered:

Be sure your machine is connected to the internet.
Be sure the file name of the registration file is exactly "RegistrationFile.txt" (within the quotes).
Be sure you didn't modify the content of the RegistrationFile.txt.
We always suggest to create a folder named e.g. "Kinemac Folder" within the "/Applications" folder. Then put either the application Kinemac and the file RegistrationFile.txt within the "Kinemac Folder". Look here how.
Be sure the file RegistrationFile.txt and all of its parent folders are readable by the current user.
Run the application /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility and repair your boot disk permissions. Please note "repair", not just "verify".
If you can't yet succeed, please create a temporary user (on the System Preferences/Accounts panel) then log in as that user. Then Launch Kinemac. If it runs, please contact us providing the information listed here below. We will do our best to let you run Kinemac from your own account.
Verify that your Firewall doesn't prevent Kinemac to talk to our remote server. If so try to disable your firewall just for one minute. Then launch Kinemac and reactivate your firewall just after. Kinemac needs to be authorized one time only.
Launch Kinemac. If you still see the white cross on the Stage, call the menu item "Kinemac:Authorize Computer". If this doesn't authorize your machine or if the menu item is disable, please contact us providing the information listed here below.
If you previously run Kinemac on a different machine, you should run again Kinemac on that old machine and call there the menu item "Kinemac:Deauthorize Computer" as shown here. You should see the white cross on the Stage window meaning that your old computer has been deauthorized properly. If so, quit. Now launch Kinemac on your new machine. If connected to the internet, it will be automatically authorized. If not, please call the menu item "Kinemac:Authorize Computer". If this doesn't authorize your machine or if the menu item is disable, please contact us providing the information listed here below.
If you fall into the previous point but your old authorized machine is not longer available (you sold it, they stole it...) please contact us providing your license number, name and email you used to register the product and the reason of your support request.

no working link in my email(s)! = no license(s)
Wonder when will I receieve the serials and apps-link if ever!?

Me too.  I bought this bundle for Kinemac only, and it refuses to run.  I have followed all instructions to the letter -- downloaded the RegistrationFile.txt from my receipt page, made sure the filename was correct, made sure I have no Application Enhancers running (even removed the folder), checked / repaired permissions), made sure firewall was off, restarted Mac, logged in as new temporary account, logged in as root, re-downloaded app, downloaded another copy from MacUpdate to make sure my copy was not corrupt, etc., etc., etc.

Kinemac launches once after the RegistrationFile.txt is in place.  Checking the About dialog reveals my name, email address and registration number.  The Authorize This Computer option is dimmed.  Opening a new document still reveals the white crosses and Kinemac bug on the stage.  After 5 seconds the app quits with no dialog, then refuses to relaunch until I install a fresh copy and repeat the process.  It's been 3 hours now, and I really need to get back to work.

I built my own computer in 1977, have been working in I.T. and application training since 1987, currently manage I.T. for 2 newspapers, 2 print shops and one world-famous fine art print collection -- plus 92 incidental accounts.  I realize this does not make me special, but I do believe that if the problem is this serious and persistent that even someone of my experience cannot install it successfully, then the developer needs to rethink their DRM.
