Go to the GameMaker: Studio purchase page, enter your HTML5 license and then checkout.

Congrats (and thanks!) on the launch YoYo.

Are you guys entering your Studio Beta license or your HTML5 license...? It worked fine for me - except the email that comes is also blank for me.

Edit: Log in here http://store.yoyogames.com and then click My Account. All of your licenses should be listed.

Thankyou very much I was looking for that could remember where it was. I was entering the characters correctly but missed all the "-" as they weren't displayed in the key in html5. All good now super smooth and quick.

Yes and on that page you can download studio directly, your license keys are for adding the export upgrades it seems.

My account only shows the beta key for studio it seems when I log into the account page. But I have the reciept from google checkout with a license key in it. Still doesn't work with that key or when I view key from within game maker html5.

[Nocturne]

The key from Html5 is just that... An MD5 key for us to be able to retrieve your license. Your actual licence key may be available from the link that was posted above (which will be obsolete soon as that is the old store) or from the email confiming you have bought the HTMl5 version.

And who do we get in touch with if out HTML5 key doesn't show up? All I'm seeing is GM for Windows and the Studio Limited license.

EDIT: For those of you who used Google Checkout, the HTML5 key is apparently in Google's transaction information.

EDIT2: And that key doesn't seem to work.

Awesome job, YoYo! This is a huge milestone for the product. I'm excited for the opportunity to access the mobile market so easily, and I'm certain many of the developers here will find financial success with the introduction of GM Studio.
