Troubleshooting
In ManyCam 9, the settings tab is located upper left. In ManyCam 8, the settings icon is located in the upper-left sandwich menu of the application. In ManyCam 7, the icon is in the upper-right corner.
Each ManyCam subscription limits the number of devices (Windows, macOS desktop) that can be activated concurrently. macOS: In individual subscriptions (Standard, Studio, Premium), one device applies to one user of the operating system (individual subscriptions can’t be shared between users or ManyCam accounts). Multiple activations per user and subscription sharing are available in Enterprise and Education plans only. Windows: ManyCam subscription is now device-based and acts globally across all OS users and ManyCam apps. Activate multiple editions (desktop, Lite) and instances of ManyCam for Windows simultaneously with a single device activation on a single machine, even if they are installed under multiple OS users. Video sources are ManyCam video presets located under the Main Live Window that can be used to create prearranged scenes containing various multimedia materials, effects, video settings, etc. Learn more here.
The ManyCam watermark will be removed automatically once you activate the subscription.
If this doesn’t happen, please make sure you are running the latest version of the software and check that your subscription is enabled in ManyCam Settings > Account & Subscriptions.
The Activation limit reached message indicates that you don’t have spare activations left.
You can easily solve this by resetting your activations in your ManyCam account at ManyCam.com. Please refer to this guide: how to reset your license
