 How to Obtain the Elluminate Publish! Application

One of the benefits of membership to LINGOs includes licenses to Publish! for members at the cost of US $50 dollars.  Each license is good for installation on one (1) computer.  To obtain a license key, have the key contact at your organization contact licenses [at] lingos.org.  In response, you will receive a license key and an invoice for payment. Once you receive a license key, you will need to download a copy of the application here where you can also access support documentation.

The first time a computer runs Publish!, the user will be required to input the license key to activate their installation on that computer. This license key is only good for installation on a single computer. When you activate your license, you will be asked to register the product, thereby providing Blackboard with contact information so that they can notify you when updated versions of Publish! are available.  Blackboard will also provide you with technical information related to Publish!. There is a final and very important final reason why users must register -- Blackboard has paid for the use of copyrighted technologies that are essential to making the product work.  Only registered users are covered by Blackboard's licensing agreement with the patent holders.
