Activate Your License
Get ArchwayCore running in your UE5 project in about two minutes. Four waypoints: download, rename, place, confirm.
Email attachment · archwaycore.licplugin file · archway.lic
Four steps from inbox to valid license
Follow the path in order. The rename step is easy to miss — the plugin will not see a file still named archwaycore.lic.
Download your license file
After purchase, check your inbox for an email with the attachment archwaycore.lic.
- Sender is usually licenses@mail.origoma.com (or onboarding@resend.dev during early delivery).
- Subject lines mention Archway or your license.
- If nothing arrives within a few minutes: check spam, then write hello@archwaycore.com.
Rename the file
The email attachment and the plugin file name are not the same — rename once.
- Rename archwaycore.lic → archway.lic
- Exact name required: archway.lic (lowercase, no extra spaces or suffixes).
- Why: the plugin looks for archway.lic by convention; the email uses a clearer product name.
Place it in your UE5 project
Drop the file under Saved/Licenses inside the project that runs ArchwayCore.
- Path: <YourProject>/Saved/Licenses/archway.lic
- If the Licenses folder does not exist, create it by hand.
- Saved is next to Content, Config, and .uproject — not inside the engine install.
Reload and confirm
Restart the editor (or reload the license if you have that command), then read the Output Log.
- Close and reopen the Unreal Editor for that project.
- Open Window → Developer Tools → Output Log.
- Look for a line like: License VALID … tier=Pro
- If you only see Free mode limits after a paid purchase, jump to troubleshooting below.

Common errors
Most failures are path or rename issues. Match the message in the Output Log, then apply the fix.
License file not found
Cause
Wrong path or filename
Solution
Confirm Saved/Licenses/archway.lic — exact name, under your .uproject tree.
Invalid signature
Cause
File corrupted or altered
Solution
Re-download from the email. Do not edit the file. Ask support for a reissue if needed.
Free mode (no hard error)
Cause
Missing, invalid, or expired license
Solution
Check the Output Log for tier. If you paid for Pro, contact support with the log snippet.
Revoked license
Cause
Refund or manual revoke
Solution
Contact hello@archwaycore.com with your order email and purchase receipt.

Quick answers
Seats, the Saved folder, and lost files.
Where is my Saved folder?
In your project directory — the same folder that holds Content and your .uproject file. Full path is Project Saved Directory (ProjectSavedDir) for that project, not the Engine install folder.
Can I use one license on multiple machines?
Depends on the tier and seats in the EULA. Pro is 1 seat by default; Studio Team is built for about 5 seats. Sharing beyond your seat count is not the license intent.
What if I lose the .lic file?
Write hello@archwaycore.com from the email you used at checkout. We can reissue a license file after we verify the order.
