This answer is for EVERYONE who lost their license key:

License keys are only relevant on the Firefox version. Check https://www.downloadhelper.net/recover-license to get your license key to be mailed back to you.

For Chrome, the premium status is associated to the Google account you sign in to in the browser. You can check your Premium license status from your Google wallet https://wallet.google.com/

Please note that licenses for Chrome and for Firefox cannot be used interchangeably. In other words, a VDH/Chrome license won't work on VDH/Firefox and the other way around.

Posting your email in a public forum is generally not a good idea. This is why we recommend contacting us privately.

Anyway, there is no license associated to this email. Please reply to me privately with alternative addresses you may have used.

Hello Mic,

My download converter is working for only MP4 downloads. Anytime I tried to convert it to MP3, it says I have not registered and takes me back to your web page for me to purchase the premium again. Please resolve this problem for me as I need it urgently.

Thank you for your help.

Your license data may have been erased for some reasons.

Just open VDH preferences > "More" > "Conversion", click "Register an existing license", copy & paste (CTRL+V) your license key  , press Enter.

I did make a donation about 1 year or two ago.
I am trying to buy the converter license and I keep getting a zip code verification error on your site when using Stripe.
Not sure what to do as I don't plan on using bitcoin.

Went through all my e-mail addresses and could not find any e-mail from you guys. What is the e-mail address you guys use for correspondence?

The registration email is probably in your spambox.

You say you have your original key and DownloadHelper registered automatically (as it is supposed to do when you purchase the license from the browser running the add-on). I don't think you need anything else.

Have Problems with FF57 and my converter-license:

Dear Urs Bosshard,

Your ConvertHelper license has been temporarily disabled due to too many installations. This can be due to the fact you have created several Firefox user profiles or you reinstalled Firefox several times.

Please follow the link below to re-enable your license:

http://www.downloadhelper.net/license-revalidate-v3.php?license=ac7e9548514b81914a9abd6e3dcbe578&check=b980be3952fbfd1428a02f05631513ea

Then you must either restart your browser or re-register your converter using this license key:

ac7e9548514b81914a9abd6e3dcbe578

Best regards,

ConvertHelper support Team

It was the companion app for the video downloadHelper.  For me it was not a lost license but a locked license.  What made things more difficult for me the email I purchased the license from is part of a domain I do not pay for anymore.  First had to have my email address attached to my license changed.

Hope this answers your question.

Thanks,

Marty

Assuming you are on Firefox: open the VDH settings page (click the toolbar icon, then the gear icon at the bottom right of the panel), click on the licensing section, click button "Register an existing license", copy/paste (CTRL-C/CTRL-V) your license key, press Enter.

For Chrome, there is no license key concept, the premium status is associated to the Google account you logged in in the browser.

Publishing your private license key to a public forum is all but a good idea. I had to invalidate the license. I'll send you another one to email

License for Firefox and for Premium status for Chrome are completely different and cannot be used interchangeably.

Your Logo is back on the downloaded videos. Ofcourse with a message that I can buy a license. Which I understood is for Life Time. Nevertheless some years ago (it might even be already in 2014 / 2015, I supported you by paying (I belief) $ 10.
So why am I getting this message again / why this logo again in the videos?
By the way, as far I recall this started again after Firefox addons were handed differnetly.

My situation is different, but still effectively the same problem. In my case, the problem is that my license key will not take—last successfully entered it after I received four emails from your firm in June 2018 saying: "You need to renew your license, you have had too many installations [and a few other justifications]. [click this link to renew your license].

I clicked the link not once but twice over a one week period; was able to successfully enter my license # then. I deleted said emails as I figured that the problem was solved.

Now, today, I had to reinstall Video Downloadhelper (I had two HDs crash in the last week). The license will not take in the program.

I use your program on two different laptops (but NEVER at the same time) and have it on both my Linux and my Windows 7 drives (again, obviously never use at the same time).

Does the license have a time limit?—I originally purchased the license a few years back; I do not have the original email sent by your firm confirming my order because, simply put, I lived in a different state, had a different ISP and mail accounts, and that confirmation email is long gone with drive losses/cleanups. I paid the license fee but am now locked out of confirming said license, therefore all my future downloads will have your "watermark" embedded in them.

How do I "renew" my license? Again: I purchased a valid license from your firm, program license is only used on one computer at a time—and ONLY one drive at a time in the case of my laptop. Please let me know what I need to do. :-)

Email at which I received the 're-register' notices:
