IndiaFont V6 (Current Version)

Before You Format: Back Up Your Designs

Your designs are saved on your computer only, not on a server. Before formatting, use My account › Backup to make one ZIP of your designs, My Data and added fonts, and keep it on a USB drive or cloud storage.

After the Format

  1. 1.Download IndiaFont V6 from indiafont.com/download
  2. 2.Install the app
  3. 3.Sign in with your IndiaFont account (email or Google)
  4. 4.Restore your backup ZIP (My account › Backup › Restore)

Reinstalling Windows or changing major hardware can make the computer look new to your plan. If the app says your plan is in use on another computer, move it from My account › Computers, or contact support and we will help.

Forgot Your Password?

  • •Use "Forgot Password" on the sign-in screen
  • •Check your email (including spam folder) for the reset link
  • •Set a new password and sign in

IndiaFont V4 & V5

V4 and V5 use login-based activation: install your version again and log in with your registered email and password.

IndiaFont V1, V2, V3 (Older Versions)

Older versions use hardware-based license keys. The reactivation process depends on whether your hardware changed.

Only Formatted (No Hardware Change)?

Good news! If you only formatted your system and there are no hardware changes, your existing activation key should still work:

  1. 1.Download your version from: Download Old Version
  2. 2.Install the application
  3. 3.Enter your existing activation key
  4. 4.If the key works, you're all set!

If the key doesn't work, follow the "Hardware Changed" steps below.

Hardware Changed? (New Computer, New Parts)

If you changed your computer, motherboard, or other hardware components, you'll need a new activation key:

#### Step-by-Step Process

  1. 1.Download your version from: Download Old Version
  1. 2.Install and register using your registered email ID
  1. 3.Get hardware info:

- Open IndiaFont

- Go to ABOUT MENU

- Or click "View Details" on the Activation key popup

  1. 4.Take a screenshot of the hardware information displayed
  1. 5.Email the screenshot to: support@IndiaFont.com

- Send from your registered email address

- Include which version you're using (V1, V2, or V3)

  1. 6.Receive your new activation key within 24 hours

Note: This process is required because older version licenses are tied to your hardware.
