Using Sublime Text 2, I still get the message about registering even though I’ve added my license. I’m on Windows 7. Any advice?

Are you super sure you pasted it well?
I mean: there were no new lines or whitespaces at the begin or at the end of the copy/pasted license; the “begin license” and “end license” rows were present; etc?
I know this could sounds as a stupid question but double check is the first thing to try…

If you did paste the license correctly and still you have the “unregistered” notice, then I can suggest you to write down @ sales@sublimetext.com for details, they usually helps people out for this kind of problems.

Thanks for responding @Orlamente. Yes I am “super sure”.

And I can confirm it was entered correctly because when I look at the top bar - it no longer says “unregistered” like it used to. Also when I click the “Help” menu item the only choice is to “remove license” instead of “add license”.

I do think this is stupid and I will email sales@sublimetext.com. I would like a refund if I still have to deal with this annoying message even after paying the expensive $70.

Are you sure that this is a message that SublimeText is unregistered? There are some paid packages that also display an unregistered message (wbond’s SFTP comes to mind)…

jbjornson is right,
there some commercial package (sublimerge pro, and sftp from wbond as mentioned before, but they are not the only 2 around)… just a rapid question, what os are you running on?
on win* the unregistered version of st have an uppercased “(UNREGISTERED)” text in the title bar of the app, can you spot it? having the option to remove the key i think the problem should be wiht a 3rd party package…

anyway, there were few cases of people that recived not-working keys and they solved mailing the sales support, it’s there for a reason after all…
