Product key

You may have received a 5-part Hatch product key in the form d566695e-dedc-4417-a5e7-8326056cd267. The license can be activated on the Hatch website OR within the Hatch Embroidery Software if already installed. If you download or purchase directly from the Hatch website, you will not need a product key. It will automatically be assigned to your email that you used to create your Hatch account. You will only receive a product key if you have purchased the software directly from a reseller at a show, retail shop, or included with your machine. Once you have input your product key, you never need to input it again. It has a one-time use. Once activated, it is assigned to your email.

  • You will receive a unique link from your reseller. Use this link if you have a product key. The link will be similar to www.wilcom.com/hatch/activation/XXXX.aspx but will be unique to your reseller.
