Using the Subscription Key

About the Subscription Key

Every JCE Subscription includes a unique 28 character key starting with the letters WF (or 17 characters long and starting with the letters JCE). This key is used to identify the subscription and is used specifically by the JCE Updater to allow access to add-on updates.

The key can be found in Details area in the Your Subscriptions page, which you will be directed to after logging in, or by clicking on Your Account in the right-hand module.

If the Subscription Details section is not visible, click on the Details button.
