Activate Ablebits add-on for Google Sheets & Docs

The following steps explain how to activate your subscription for any of our Google Sheets or Google Docs extensions using your activation key.

Note. While the example below features Power Tools, the process is the same for all our add-ons.

How to activate the add-on

Note. If your add-on is activated with another key at the moment and you have a new key you'd like to use, you need to deactivate your current key first, then proceed with the steps below to activate a new one.

Step 1: Start the tool

Go to Extensions > Power Tools (or your specific add-on) > Start:
Run the add-on to activate it.

Tip. Or access activation right away through Extensions > Power Tools (or your specific add-on) > Activate my subscription:
Open the activation right away.

Step 2: Open the Activation window

Click on the key icon at the bottom of the add-on sidebar. Copy and paste your key from the registration email into a special field in the tool and click Activate my subscription:
Enter your key to activate your subscription.

Step 3: See your subscription details

As soon as the subscription is activated, you will see all the related info in one place upon clicking the same key icon at the bottom of the add-on window:
View your subscription details any time right from the add-on.

Hello,

I purchased the add on for google sheets. However, I am unable to install tool. My Add-on tool bar option only has ‘Get Add-Ons’ as an option and not what your tutorial shows. What am I missing? I’m using Google G Suite.is this add-on applicable to G Suite?

Thank you.

If I purchase the lifetime subscription for an employee but that employee ends up leaving, can I transfer that lifetime subscription to another employee?

Also, if I purchase the lifetime subscription can there be multiple people under that subscription?

Hello Kao,

Thank you for your questions.

Our subscription (12-month or lifetime) is account-based. If the product is going to be used under different Google accounts at the same time, you need to have several subscriptions, so there is one for each account.

If necessary, it is possible to transfer a subscription from one account to another. Here is a detailed instruction: https://www.ablebits.com/docs/gsuite-add-ons-licensing/#transfer-subscription

If you have any other questions, please email us at support@ablebits.com.
