Snap! requires 2 files for each Snap project:

  • .PPT or PPTX, the PowerPoint file
  • .GPKG, the Snap package file

The 2 source files (PPTX & GPKG) must remain together in the same location on your hard drive.If you move one of the files and not the other, Snap may lose the connection between the two files and your project will become corrupted. Once the project is corrupted, it cannot be restored. Always make sure both files are present before opening a Snap project to work on it.

Error - Maximum Number of Registrations Has Been Exceeded

If you receive this error when installing Snap!, it means you've previously installed Snap! with the same license key.

A Snap! license key can only be installed on one computer, for one user at a time. If you are upgrading your computer, if your IT department needs to "wipe" your computer, or you get a new computer, you will need to uninstall Snap to release the license key.

During the uninstall process, Snap! will notify you when the license key is successfully released:

After the license key is released, you can reinstall Snap on your upgraded or new computer.

Please note: If your computer hard drive crashed, the computer has already been collected by IT, or was wiped, you will not be able to complete the uninstall and reinstall process. In this situation, Snap! cannot be recovered. We apologize for any inconvenience.
