How do I import external data?

External registration information can be imported in to LicenseKeeper from three sources: Text Files, LicenseKeeper XML Exports, and Yojimbo.

Many third-party applications have the ability to export your data to plain-text files containing delimited values. LicenseKeeper can import these text files through the Import External Data... sheet.
