Documentation

Indolent Forge Nesting is a Windows desktop app (Windows 10 or newer, x64).

1. Download the installer: Indolent_Forge_Nesting_latest.exe
2. Run the installer (Windows SmartScreen may show a warning until we have code-signing — click "More info" → "Run anyway")
3. The app installs to C:\Program Files\Indolent Forge Nesting and adds a Start menu entry

The app launches into a 14-day free trial. No registration required to try.

Your machine ID — a 64-character hex fingerprint — is generated on first launch from your hostname and primary disk volume serial. Find it under Settings → License → Show machine ID. You'll need this when you buy.

1. From the app: click Settings → License → Buy License. This opens our checkout in your browser with your machine ID pre-filled.
2. Complete checkout via Stripe.
3. You'll get an email with your license key (one long base64 string).
4. Back in the app: Settings → License → Activate, paste the key, click Activate.
5. App is now licensed — no more trial countdown.

Activation fails with "invalid signature": the license is bound to your machine ID. Confirm the machine ID in the app matches the one you bought against. If you bought against the wrong machine ID, see Machine swap.

App won't open / crashes on launch: open the app data folder at %LOCALAPPDATA%\com.indolentforge.nesting and zip the contents. Email it with your symptoms to support@example.com.

Activation email never arrived: check spam. Wait 5 minutes (Resend occasionally queues during high-volume periods). Still nothing? Email support@example.com from the email address you used at checkout.

New computer? No fee — we re-issue manually:

1. Install Indolent Forge on the new machine (it'll start a trial)
2. Find the new machine ID in the app: Settings → License → Show machine ID
3. Email support@example.com from the same address you bought with, include the new machine ID
4. We re-sign and email a new license usually within one business day

For v1 we do this manually. Self-serve machine swap is on the roadmap.

30-day money-back guarantee, no questions. Email support@example.com; refund processed via Stripe within one business day.

For bugs, you can also use the in-app Bug Report button (top right of any screen). It captures app version, OS, and your description, and emails it to support automatically.
