Activating BibleWorks 8, 9 or 10

As of June 15, 2018 BibleWorks ceased operation as a provider of Bible software tools. The old BibleWorks web site, activation server and forum are gone. This new forum is intended to provide a way for the thousands of people still using BibleWorks to communicate with one another. Click on "General BibleWorks Discussion" above to view messages.Or you can jump directly to two topics of general interest to everyone:

Welcome to the New BibleWorks Forum
How to Activate a New Installation of BibleWorks 8,9 or 10.

To post to this forum you must register your account. After you register and accept the TERMS OF USE, you will be sent an e-mail immediately. You must respond to this e-mail within two days and be activated by an administrator before you can post.This is necessary to limit the use of this forum for spam.

We get a LOT of forum registrations that we cannot activate because we got no response to the confirmation e-mail that was sent. A few are returned as undeliverable and we assume that they are spammers. We have no way of knowing if the other confirmation e-mails were even received. If you registered and never received the confirmation e-mail, you can send a message to forum@biblework.com. But check your spam folder first. Of course you are free to browse messages without registering. You just can't post to the forum or respond to messages.

Further to my message on 31/5 above, I am still awaiting the executable link to re-activate my BibleWorks. Should I re-send the re-activation e-mail to you? Please kindly follow up and advise.

Did you read the instructions on how to submit a request? Submissions that did not follow the direction will not receive a reply.
Dear Admin,

There are following 3 types of Subject formats mentioned in the instruction message and I used the second type (with a hyphen before serial no.). I have just re-sent reactivation request using the third type (no hyphen) and hope it will work.

BW10####-####-####-#### Your Name
BW10-ABCD-EFGH-IJKL-MNOP Your name
BW10ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP Your name

Hi Mike. I own Bibleworks 8. You responded to my reactivation@bibleworks.com email by sending me BW1000 files (5/25/2026 at 10:18 AEST). Should it be BW800 files? Is this the reason why I can not get past the old activation process when I try to install the files you sent me?
Thanks for your assistance.

Richard,

The original message that you sent requesting activation had BW10 in the title. You then sent one with BW80 in the title. So you were sent two activation files. You are probably using the wrong one.

If you cannot find it you can resubmit.
