If you’re unable to install your HUE Animation or HUE Intuition software from your CD, please read the instructions below.

1. I haven’t registered my activation code before, and it’s a longer code (e.g. HUE1234567890123).

Please register an account on our site and choose Register New Software from the account screen to convert your activation code to a license key and add your software to your account. You can then download the software from the Downloads page.

If you need help activating offline you can find detailed instructions here.

Long activation codes are printed on the back of The HUE Book of Animation (HUE Animation) or on the back of the instruction booklet (HUE Intuition). Activation keys for bulk license orders are often sent by email.

2. I haven’t registered my activation code before, and it’s a short code (e.g. HUE12345).

Please visit this page to register your older code. This will convert it to a license key, give you access to the downloadable version of the HUE Animation software and add all of the details to your HUE website account for future reference.

The short HUE activation codes are printed on the back of The HUE Book of Animation. If you have an older kit without the book, check the activation instruction sheet for a sticker with your code.

3. I originally purchased my license digitally and never had an activation code.

Your downloads and license details will be stored on your online HUE account already. You can request a password reset from the login page if you have forgotten your password.

4. I have registered my activation code before, but I don’t know my license key or how to access my downloads.

All of your software updates and license details will be stored on your online HUE account.


If you have registered your activation code before but you don’t know your license key or how to download the latest version of the software, please note that all of your software updates and license details are always stored on your online HUE account. If you have forgotten your login details, you can request a password reset or lost license reminder.

If you’re having any other trouble accessing your software, please contact us with all of the relevant details (order number, activation details, error message etc.) and we’ll be able to help.

HUE Intuition can be registered and downloaded through your online account.

Customers with a license can also use these direct download links to install the latest version of the software.

HUE Intuition for Windows:

HUE Intuition version 2.0.0.0 (Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP)

Due to a change to the installation process, if you previously installed Windows version 1.7.1.3 or earlier you will need to uninstall it from your Control Panel first before updating to version 1.7.1.5 or later.

HUE Intuition for Macs:

HUE Intuition version 2.0.0.4 (macOS/Mac OS X 10.9 and later)
HUE Intuition version 1.7.1.9 (Mac OS X 10.5 to 10.8)

While there will not be further software updates for these platforms, we will continue to provide users with full technical support.

Once you have installed HUE Intuition for the first time you will be able to download future updates using the auto update feature within the software.
