When you buy Winsent Messenger you receive a license file instead of a product key. The license key file is a small binary file which contains your license key number, type of the license, number of seats, your name, company name and email address. The file name will be a long string of random numbers and letters and will have a .WINSENTMESSENGER extension, looking something (but not exactly) like this:
1D4Y-HGF3-9SD2-O423.WINSENTMESSENGER
