Troubleshooting
Use this page to resolve common issues quickly before escalating to support.
Activation limit reached
Symptoms: License key is valid but activation fails with a device limit message.
Likely cause: The key is still active on old devices.
Fix: Deactivate unused devices from your account, then retry activation.
Fallback: Use Order Lookup or contact support if account access is unavailable.
Model setup or AI response problems
Symptoms: AI actions fail, stall, or return incomplete output.
Likely cause: Model is not fully downloaded, incompatible with hardware, or under memory pressure.
Fix: Retry model download on stable network and switch to a smaller model for testing.
Fallback: Use editor-only workflows temporarily and report model/device details to support.
Memory Links feel irrelevant
Symptoms: Related notes look weak, repetitive, or disconnected from current writing.
Likely cause: Sparse note corpus, vague note titles, or stale context after large edits.
Fix: Rename vague notes, add clearer nouns, and keep explicit wiki links for key relationships.
Fallback: Disable Memory Links briefly, continue writing, and re-enable after structure cleanup.
Missing notes or accidental deletion
Symptoms: A note, folder, or notebook appears missing.
Likely cause: Moved item, trash state, or failed sync between expected and current workspace state.
Fix: Check trash and recent edits first, then restore from latest verified backup if needed.
Fallback: Stop editing immediately and escalate with backup file details to avoid overwrite risk.
