Getting an activation code

WebDebugX is free. There is no paid tier, no subscription, no feature paywall and no account to register.

The app does ask for an activation code the first time you start it. The code is free as well: publish something about WebDebugX — a review, a write-up of a debugging session, a tutorial — send us the link, and you get a code back.

This page explains how that works.

Where the code is entered

Section titled “Where the code is entered”
  1. Install WebDebugX (installation guide)
  2. Start the app — it asks for an activation code before the main window opens
  3. Paste the code and confirm

You do not sign in and you do not create an account. The code is tied to that installation, not to a person.

How to earn a code

Section titled “How to earn a code”

1. Use the app on something real

Section titled “1. Use the app on something real”

The post is worth more to a reader — and to us — when it comes out of actual work. Debug a page on your own phone, chase down a real bug, and write about what happened. See Quick start if you need a first task to work through.

2. Publish it

Section titled “2. Publish it”

Anywhere your readers already are: a personal blog, a developer community, a video platform, a social account. Any language is fine.

What makes a post useful:

  • Firsthand experience. What you were debugging, what you tried, what the app did.
  • Screenshots or a screen recording. Real screens beat a feature list.
  • Enough detail to follow. A reader should be able to repeat what you did.

What is not required:

  • Praise. An honest write-up that says what did not work for you counts. We would rather read that than a marketing summary.
  • A minimum length, a specific platform, or a fixed format.

If the platform you publish on has a disclosure rule for incentivised posts, follow it — mentioning that you received a free activation code is fine and does not disqualify the post.

Section titled “3. Send us the link”

Email the published link to 2462611616@qq.com. Include:

  • the URL of the post
  • the platform it is on
  • the email address you want the code sent to

We reply with an activation code.

When a code expires

Section titled “When a code expires”

An activation code carries a validity period. When it lapses, the app asks for a new one — and a replacement is free, through the same route as the first. Expiry is not the point at which payment starts; there is nothing to buy.

Troubleshooting

Section titled “Troubleshooting”

The code is rejected. Copy it again straight from the email — a trailing space or a missing character is the usual cause. If the code is one you have used for a while, it may simply have expired; request a new one.

No reply yet. Send the email again with the link, or ask on the FAQ contact route. Mail from an address that can receive replies.
