Unable to get a product key

[Ceel]

Hello,

I've downloaded freeoffice 2018 (rev 934, 32bits) and installed it. All went well till I have to enter my product key:

• I never receive the product key after I downloaded the .tgz file (and it is not in spams; I've already meat this issue with freeoffice 2016 but I gave up because my free office 2012 worked well; and same when I download FlexyPdf basic, no product key )

• If I tryed to use my old key, I get the message "This product key is for an old version, please insert a product key for this version"...

• When I clicked on "Product key lost or invalid?" I get the message "Cannot start the web browser."... but my web browser, Pale Moon, works like a charm (and I did a try with QtWeb too).

How can I receive a new product key?

Thanks in advance.

Btw, there is a little error @ https://www.freeoffice.com/en/tips-and-tricks-linux; in the Installation on other systems section:
If you use a 32-bit Linux system:
tar xvzf softmaker-freeoffice-2018-934-i386.tgz
The right name of the .tgz file is softmaker-freeoffice-934-i386.tgz; same error for 64bit system.

I have a similar problem. I live in Cuba and I use this office suit in my work. Our internet acces is made throug a proxy, and your sotfware haven't a configuration (at less on the gui) to manage that. I think that the proxy is the cause wich i obtain the error of connection with the server. I'm on the end of the freeoffice trial period and i couldn't obtain the product key. If you include in the website an option to obtain the key, will be very nice. And offcoure... can enyone of the support staff send me a key of the freeoffice 2018 for linux (im using Ubuntu 18.04 64bits). Thanks

You should configure your Windows or Linux system to use the proxy systemwide, and then SoftMaker Office and FreeOffice will use it.
In Windows it's done in internet explorer. In windows 10 look for proxy in the start menu.

In Linux, it depends on you distro.
In ubuntu:
Open System Settings in Ubuntu.
Under Hardware, click on Network
On the left hand side plane, click on Network Proxy
In the Method drop down list, choose Manual
Fill up the http and https proxy. No need to set ftp and socks proxy.
Click on Apply system wide.

Hi, Softmaker Team,
I installed FreeOffice from my Linux Mint repository (Synaptic), however I'm unable to connect to Softmaker server when asked to look for free key to open Text Maker. I get this warning everytime I tried : "SSL error. Please, check date/time and your antivirus settings". I have no antivirus software in Linux. I must say I get to Internet through proxy, but all my software get updated without any problem. I'm attaching a screenshot for you to see.
Any help. Thanks

This error is showing that there is some problem with your internet connectivity to the FreeOffice software.
