Thank you for purchasing Lightwright®!

Before you can begin using Lightwright, you will need to fill out a short form here and wait for us to send you an approval code that will activate your software. Please allow 2 business days for a reply (see note below).

In order to register, you must be using a modern web browser, and Javascript must be enabled

(Safari, Chrome, Firefox 3.6.13 or later, Internet Explorer 7 or later)

Please, DO NOT CALL John McKernon to beg for your approval code to come quicker. If you are in a hurry to get your approval code, fill out the web site form immediately. Any other approach will slow down your approval, as the information needed to generate the approval code can only come from this web site.

Why do I have to wait two $#@#$!@ days?!?

Actually, in most cases it won't take anywhere near that long to get your approval code back to you. Most approval codes are sent out within an hour or two after they are received. John McKernon Software is a one-man business, and under normal circumstances John approves registrations many times a day. However, if he is in a meeting or someplace where internet access is not available, he may not be able to get an approval code out the same day it is received. The two business days simply gives him a cushion in case the internet is not readily available.

If you don't receive a reply within two business days, please send an email to help@mckernon.com, as mail has been known to get lost in the jumble of the internet.

But I'm in a hurry! I need to use Lightwright RIGHT NOW!

Although Lightwright is a generally friendly program that you can sit down and use pretty much right out of the box, it is also a very large and complex piece of software. If you do not take some quiet time to sit down and explore its features and ways you can adapt them to your own way of working, you are likely to be extremely frustrated and probably angry. Trying to learn Lightwright in a hurry is a Big Mistake. So sit down, take a deep breath, and relax. Then read through the Lightwright Tutorial and Reference manuals and work through them. After you feel comfortable, start that first "real" show.

If you were eligible for a free upgrade from LW4 to LW5, you must have contacted City Theatrical  no later than January 1, 2010, and had them certify your qualification and provide you with a new serial number at that time.
