Alpha Anywhere Community Edition and the full Alpha Anywhere Developer Edition use the same license registration mechanism. This is because Community Edition is a subset of the full Developer Edition.

To run Community Edition alongside the full Developer Edition, you need to add your license key to the installation folder for Alpha Anywhere Community Edition.

  1. Open the folder where Alpha Anywhere Community Edition has been installed. You can find the installation folder using the Universal Installer.
