Technical support, including help with activation/deactivation, is available only for registered users of Final Draft versions 8 / 7 / 6 and Final Draft AV2.5.

NOTE:  Due to its advanced age and increasing incompatibility with current operating systems, all technical support for Final Draft v.6 will be discontinued on December 23rd, 2009.

Users of v.6 will still be able to find solutions in the online knowledge base and in the PDF manual in the Final Draft folder on the hard drive. V.6 can always be run in full mode if the CD is in the drive when the program is launched. Once the program is open the CD can be removed.
