Register the License
If your does not have internet access, you will need to run PhraseExpress from a USB flash drive. You can plug in the USB flash drive to any other computer that has an internet connection and register the license from there. Your license is then tied to the USB device and you can use PhraseExpress from the USB device from the computer without internet connection. See PhraseExpress - Licensing, under the “Portable Use” section.
- Open the PhraseExpress main program window. (Right-click on the tray icon, and click “Open program window”).
- Select "Help » License Manager" from main menu.
- In the License Manager, click "Register locally with a license key".
- Select the entire license key (begins with "PEX…".) from the license key email you received and press Ctrl + C to copy it to the License Key window.
The license key will be tied to your Windows user name. Up to 3 computers with the same user name can share the same PhraseExpress license.
If you are having any issues:
Please make sure that no firewall is preventing PhraseExpress from accessing the internet. If using a proxy server, you need to configure it in the PhraseExpress Settings » Network » Proxy Server”.
PhraseExpress may not necessarily have internet access just because you can browse the internet or receive email. For example, application-aware firewalls or security software may allow the browser but block PhraseExpress.
Import the Calypso Booster files
- If PhraseExpress is not already open, right-click on the tray icon and select “Open program window”.
- Click the Import icon in the Phrases tab:
- Locate the “Calypso_Booster_PhraseExpress” file that came with the Calypso Booster package. You should now see the “Calypso” folder.

- Go to File - Settings and change the shortcut for “Create a new phrase” to Alt + Win + C. (The default Ctrl + Alt + C interferes with a RoboTask shortcut.)
